See, I can't get the front panel to actually register the onboard mic or headphones but this is how they both said to setup the panel.

Now I have extra connections to use that are single so could map it myself, does this look like anything any of you understand, what's wrong with the default setup?

So what needs to be done?

Wow, I acutally figured it out!

It seems that you must go into the realtek application for the audio and change it so "disable front panel jack detection" is on!

Weird huh? But it worked. Just use the Intel HD Audio panel connector and you'll see it works, this is really bizarre lol
