Did you try the headphone on another device?

NvidiaDude · 08-05-2007, 07:02 PM

Yeah tryed 2 headsets ones brand new

NvidiaDude · 08-05-2007, 07:02 PM

Sound Drivers are All installed also

Are you sure that your laptop uses that port as a headphone jack and not a mic jack?

Yeahh im sure mate

During what applications does this happen...like games or WMP or what?

my audio driver has an interface...I have to tell it what is connected to what jack

if headphones work...could just be the jack (on the mobo/tower) that's dead

It is a laptop. But that is a good point. You might have to go into the Control Panel and tell vista that it is a headphone attached not a mic. Vista could be thinking it is a mic.

When i plug the Headphone jack in i can hear some kinda rustling thing just as you put the headphone jack near the socket
