I went to this site to download drivers:

Out of these drivers, the last one, being the Sigmatel HD driver got me the best results. However, the best results are as follows:

Using the jacks on the back of the motherboard, I get audio, but only a very weak microphone (i.e. low audibility) when I crank up the volume control for the rear microphone and engage microphone boost. When I switch to the front jacks, I get audio from the earpieces but no microphone usage whatsoever. So when I Skype someone, I can hear them, but they cannot hear me. Again, not the headset since it works just fine on my laptop. Font panel connector seems to be set up fine on the motherboard since there is only one way that it can go on and since I have audio.

I've tried uninstalling the various drivers, rebooting, and re-installing multiple times. Any ideas how to resolve this?

i have the same issue

seems that the Front Panel header is AC97 on most cases

try using the AC97 drivers..
