Headphones

[John]

My parents bought this computer and it has this great
sound system, however they don't always want to hear what
I'm listening to so they also bought headphones-here is
the problem-the headphones aren't being detected as an
audio device so I can't listen through the headphones
ONLY the speakers. I have checked my connections and
everything is A-okay on that side of things. Can someone
help?

Hello,

Not to sound stupid.......but plug the headphones into
the speakers, not the audio output. Most audio outputs
don't have amps. The amp is in the speakers. Headphones
require an amp. Every set of speakers I've owned, had a
place to plug in headphones. Once the headphones are
plugged into the speakers. Your parents will have peace
and quite.
