good morning
My system is
EMachine T5234

AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4000+ (dual-core)
64-bit technology support with AMD64 technology

16x DVD±R/RW Supermulti drive
Up to 8.5GB with dual layer media

NVIDIA® GeForce® 6150SE integrated graphics
Up to 128MB shared video memory

6-channel (5.1) high-definition audio
Amplified stereo speakers (USB-powered)
3 - Audio (rear): Line-in/Side (stereo), Front/Headphone (stereo), Microphone
2 - Audio (front): Microphone, Front/Headphone (stereo)


I'm trying to use the front connections to hook up the headphones. I plug in the two connections (Mike jack and the headset jack into the proper holes). The box pops up having me choose what I'm plugging in. I tell it I'm plugging in the mic and the headphones. I can hear sound from the headphones but the mike is not working.
If I plug in ONLY the mike jack, I can talk into the mike and it works and then the sound comes out of the speakers. But once I plug in the headset, the mike quits working. I don't want to use my headset as a mike and use the speakers. I would like to be able to put the headphones on and talk into the mike and hear from the heatphones.
How can I fix this problem so I can use it properly

thanks
Barbara
