I recently just purchased a hp desktop, and when i went to try the headphone jack in the front of the computer it did not work. Howeve if i plug it into the back where the speaker jack is it works........ I would just really like to get the jack infront of the computer to work.

Thanks,

Sounds like the connection from the jack in front has come loose inside.  It is not a big deal.  It is just a very tiny pin jumper that fits onto pins on the motherboard.  Could possibly be bad, but I would have someone check to see if it has come loose first.  If it does turn out to be bad, the whole motherboard will have to go in to repair that set of pins or the wire/jack from the front.  Don't wait around to get it fixed before it is too late to do anything at all.
