MSI B450 Tomahawk Max no audio except via bluetooth

Anyone else encountered this? I'm running win10 and have tried reinstalling drivers, trying different drivers, BIOS flash etc. But I can't get any audio (red cross icon in system tray) except with my bluetooth headphones, so the chip must be working? Plugging in different cords in rear and front ports gets me nothing, not even recognized as "plug event". :confused:

Random suggestion, is audio turned off in the bios by default?

Nah it's on in BIOS, ta for the suggestion though. One weird thing I've heard from searching is it could be the I/O shield making improper contact, not sure exactly what that means in practice though.
