Hi chaps..

I have just bought a set of headhpones with a mic ...

The computer, is fairly new...im still running XP..

I have pink and green pins on the phones...

The computer has front and rear female connectors..I have my speakers plugged into the rear connection..so I decided to use the front connections for the phones...

Nothing...

I then pulled the speaker connection out and plugged my phones into the pink and grean...fine.

Is it normal that either one bank and not the other will work?...if so I guess I have some rewring to do..(if its possible???) or are there hardware settings I can adjust which will allow me to leave myspeakers plugged into the rear...and still use the phones from the front..

Cheers..

Not sure if this will work in XP but try it.
This is what I found on Windows 7
On your computer search for the Realtek Audio manager.
If it shows, click Device Advanced settings
Put a dot next to "Mute the rear output devices when front headphone plugged in"


As I said, not sure about XP, but that is the sort of option you are looking for.
