Earphones

Oregon stole my thunder! Yeah, I had the same problem and what oregon just said is what solved the problem.

It doesn't list the headphones in the playback tab.
It is weird, though, that it shows (in the recording tab) a microphone, even when there's none plugged in. and when I do plug one in, nothing changes...


I thought about the USB earphones, but they all cost $40+. I'd like to try to fix the problem itself first...

That's weird, in my playback tab I have speakers, headphones, and the digital output device.

If headphones aren't showing up there, I would think it is a motherboard problem, or something bad.

 

[Gabriel]

Couldn't it be just the jack?

If it is the motherboard, shouldn't I be experiencing other problems too?

 

[oregon]

No, because if the jack is faulty, the headphone icon would still show up in the list, just not be recognized as plugged in.

 

[Gabriel]

Even if it's plug and play and needed no driver installation?
