Headphones dont work


Yesterday I unpluged my headphones from the jack located in front of the
computer because the wire became tangled, when I plugged them back in, I
no longer got sound, so I restarted the computer thinking that was the
problem and it still didn't work. I have checked the volume and sound
card and they are fine. I can't even hear the test sound. Any help?

Re: Headphones dont work

Are they USB headphones?

If they are not, make sure the headphones are plugged in before you turn
your PC on.

Re: Headphones dont work

Hi, PrezKWAWF.

Is it plugged in?

I hate to ask such a simple question, but, yes, it has happened to me - and
probably to just about everyone at least once. :^{

The stereo jack has fooled me more than once. After it seems to be all the
way in, a harder push seats it just a little deeper - and then it works.

Also, my computer case is not as rigid as it should be. When I insert a USB
plug into the front socket, it almost always backs into the case and I have
to open the case and push it firmly back into its socket holder. Maybe your
stereo jack has a similar problem internally?

Is this a laptop with speakers or a desktop with a front panel jack?

Umm I'm not sure? They are just your regular standard headphones, I
unplugged them, turned off the pc, plugged them back in and it still
didn't work

Re: Headphones dont work


It's a desktop with a front panel jack... It is plugged in, because when
I plug it in, a sign pops on saying "You just plugged a device into the
audio jack"
