windows 8 - How to use front panel mic-in jack as headset out jack?

I'm using Windows 8, and my cabinet's front panel headset jack has broken down. So I was thinking to use the "mic-in" jack as the 'headset" (line-out) jack.

How do I achieve this without having to install the Realtek sound driver?

Edit :

I was asking if it was possible to reconfigure the jacks at software level.

Here is a method that can be used to reconfigure the jacks, but it requires realtek drivers to be installed.

So I wanted to know if the same can be achieved without having to install realtek drivers.
