Connecting PC to Amp problem and advice needed

Have just built a friends PC for him and having trouble connecting the PC to his amp. He is running one of these boards with the standard realtek drivers

Now when i connect the pc to the amp with a stereo jack i cant get any noise. So which one of the six connectors on the back is the headphone socket? Or do i have to hook up the front panel connectors to get a headphone socket in order to connect the pc to amp?

Tried normal speakers or headphones in the socket?

I've only tried his speakers, will now try headphones in the socket. Cheers

Forgive me for suggesting the obvious, but just try them all till one works. Btw there isn't usually a seperate headphone socket on the motherboard rear panel, you're just looking for the front left/front right channel stereo output, which is also where you would plug in headphones. If they are colour coded it should be green.

its usually the green port, but most newer realtek chipsets can assign any of the ports as a line-out using the drivers
