Hello to all on the Linus forum this evening! I’m upgrading some office computers, and most worked fine at first. The one that didn’t is this one. After the standard setup, only the front panel audio is functioning properly—something unusual. The connectors aren’t the usual HD audio or AC97; they’re a bit of a mess. I have two mics, two ear pieces, and two ground connections. I need this fixed ASAP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, the motherboard is Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2PT and I’m running Windows 11. If that’s not an option, I can try loading Windows 10 on Windows 7 or XP. Thanks!

core 2? Those need replacing, those are too old to be super functional by any modern standards. But if you /have/ to get it working, this is the audio pinout for that header:
