Enable front panel audio in your audio driver software.
i just realize that there is not front audio driver installed so that why it doesn’t work. after i install a software name “via HD audio Deck” which also contained when i buy the computer. it auto install the driver for me. so the front audio panel now is working. Thanks^^
