Check the front audio connector of your motherboard in the user manual

Check the front audio panel specification of your computer chassis whether
support Jack detection of headphone and mic

Only a few multi channel AC97 2.3 codecs (e.g. ALC850) support jack
detection and most AC97 front audio panel does not have jack detection
circuit

The front audio panel headphone share the front channel signal only when
playing multi channel audio

You need  to use applications（e.g  mplayer） which can  down mix multi
channel to stereo or select the stereo track  instead of DTS of movie DVD
when you are using headphone
