I have an Acer Extensa 5620Z laptop. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium.
My problem is that I can hear sound from my laptop's built-in speakers, but when I plug my headphones in the jack (there's only one jack, on the front), the speakers still play, but there's nothing from the headphones. As you know, when you plug something into that headphone jack, the speakers should cut out and the sound show all be transferred to the headphones, or whatever device is plugged in.
Now, I've already torn the sound properties and Device Manager apart trying to figure this thing out, but I've got nothing yet. In the sound properties, I've tried making the headphones the default device: Nothing.
I went into the headphones properties within the previously stated properties and clicked "Test." This produced perfect sound through the headphones, but nothing else will. Halp?
