Question about Speakers

[bluedog1]

Hey guys, looking for some talented computer folks
to help me. And I appreciate it.

Situation: I have a Compaq Presario PC SR5030NX,
with Windows Vista Basic, 2006. I have a Creative
Speaker system that I thoroughly enjoy. What busted
my balls recently was that I plugged my headphones into
the front jack of the PC, and now, no matter what I
do, the Speaker system is no longer working, but the
headphones continue to work.

There is no question mark on the Sound Card icon, and
so the Sound Card is enabled. I checked volume too.

My question: how do I re-enable my speakers to work,
so that I don't have to rely on my headphones.

Thanks, folks.

- Sam

where is your creative speakers connected now?

ie: rear/front audio port.

Rear port, green to green.

and at the same time your headset is plugged into
the front audio port?

Check the Playback tab in your Sound control panel.
- Does it list headphones as a separate device?
- What device is set as your default device (see that it is set for your Speakers)

Here's simple program to easily switch playback default device in Vista
