Headphone/Speakers Issue with Vista The problem I am having is odd. With sound from either music or video playing through the internal laptop speakers all is ok, on plugging the headphones into the jack, the speakers are muted but no sound comes out of the headphones although sounds/notification ‘bleeps’ come over the headphones fine. On opening the playback devices both speakers and headphones are showing as plugged in and working with the green tick on the headphones (still no sound through them) the sound level bars to the right of the shown devices are indicating sound playing, but only on the speakers (but no sound comes from the speakers). The Headphones sound levels are showing nothing. On right- clicking the headphones I do not get the ability to select the headphones as default. If I disconnect the headphones, the internal speakers take over as expected.
If I open a file in Windows Media with the headphones plugged in they work fine. However if I unplug them all sound ceases and a warning box shows ‘audio device disconnected or re-configured, verify that the audio device is re-connected and play the item again’. In the ‘Sounds’ box the headphones show ‘not plugged in’ and the red downward arrow shows when unplugged and vice versa. This only sounds like a minor issue, but it's very annoying and I am sure it has only begun fairly recently. Many thanks if anyone can help me. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
