Question:

Does the Asus P5LP-LE support AC 97 or HD audio because neither of my front panel connectors work?

Cooler Master Cosmos s case Asus P5LP-LE motherboard from HP media center PC

Answer:

How about just download the preferred driver for it on ASUS's site? That would be more preferred way to have the proper driver for it also you might need to see if the front panel are connected on the board. Because it might not yet been connected.
Are you using a sound card or integrated audio? - because if you are using a sound card and your front audio ports don't plug into your sound card, then I would assume that's your problem. If you went cheap like I did, your card probably won't have a connector for the front panel audio. In this case, you could (1) get a new, cooler sound card or (2) do what I did and go to Walmart and get a headphone extension cord that would allow you to extend your sound card's audio port to a strategic location on your case or in a desk drawer where you could easily switch between speakers and headphones. I hope I was able to help :-) PS: If you aren't using a dedicated sound card, but instead you are using integrated sound, then I'm not sure I can give you advice beyond what you've probably already tried. Just in case, make sure that your front panel is connected properly and that your on-board audio is activated in the BIOS; and I guess you could always mess around with the settings in the OS - there's usually something about headphone detection somewhere in the audio properties/menu.
