My wife has a cat that likes to make trouble like that, but I checked the back of her PC and everything seems to be plugged in where it's supposed to be. Still no sound. What confuses me is that it works perfectly in Windows XP. My wife's monitor is one that has the speakers built onto the monitor. She sometimes asks to borrow my headphones so she can do her labs for French class without disturbing me. I can't seem to find where she plugs the headphones in at, but I'll ask her when she gets home. It can't hurt to try, right? -- [email protected] mailing list
