Hello,

Go to the control panel, then to hardware and sound, then sound. You should see something called manage audio devices. Plug in your headphones and see if they show up.

If they don't, then either your divers are missing or the the headphone jack itself has failed. In the caseyour drivers that are missing, then all you need to do is either use windows update(it will detect many of your missing drivers) or go to the manufacturers website and look for them there. And also try different headphones, those could have messed up as well.

Now lets say that you do see the headphones show up as an audio device. Then all you need to do is set them as default and that should fix your problem.

Good Luck!

I have done that but as i mentioned before the headphones work fine and so do the speakers but at the same time, i.e when you plug in the headphones into the socket they dont cut off the speakers??? The mange device setting is set to default headphones - I am ver very puzzled and cant listen to movies or anything on trains or in public places as everone else can hear my computer -

Hello,
To know your sound card brand, follow these instructions and tell me what you get:

Click on the "Start" menu and then click "Run."

Type "dxdiag" in the run box, then click "Ok."

Click on the "Sound" tab or tabs on the diagnostic pop-up window for detailed information about your sound devices.
