Sound disappear from Speaker after using headphone

[Smiley]

Hi, Saw someone with the same name as mine, made a posting yesterday. Just
hope you are not confused who is who.

How can I get the sound back from my speaker. I have used the headphone once
and now can't get the sound back from the speaker. I have checked all the
setting in the sound volume and control, nothing was checked. I must be
missing something.

It would help is you can tell us in greater details on the make/model
of your PC, sound card and speakers.

General tips: To get the speakers to play the sound

1) Disconnect the headphones. Some sound cards will re-direct the
sounds over to the headphone when they are connected to the jack.

2) Check the audio settings and make sure that the sounds are
directed to the speaker jack(s) and not to the headphone jack.

3) If you have used the audio jack that may exist on the CD/DVD drive,
you may have to re-configure the audio settings back to "digital."
The audio jacks that can be on CD/DVD drives are "analog" sound jacks
and the speaker jack(s) on the sound sound card usually require the
sounds to be coming from the motherbaord "paths" which are normally
"digital."

More details will help.
Where is the jack that you plugged into headphones into?
Was it on the speakers, on the sound card, or on the front of the tower?
Almost all headphone receptacles physically disconnect the speakers when the headphone jack is
physically inserted.
The jack receptacle may be defective and not allowed the speaker connection to be made again when
the jack is removed.

Hi there,

The headphone was connected to the speaker and the headphone of course was
removed/disconnected from the speaker which I expect the sound will be
coming back from the Speaker but it doesn't.

I suspect of point 2 but don't seem to have anywhere to do such setting. The
only 'adjustable' setting on the headphone was the volume hence I could only
think any other settings which might affect where the sound come from will
be from the pc.

I don't know the make of pc or sound card but I shall check out your
suggestion tonight.

Cheers,

Point 2 can be found in the Control Panel -- Sounds and Audio
Devices. Some "brand name" computer have enhanced controls which can
detect is headphones are used,

As for the problem which you have expanded on, if the headphones were
plugged into on jack in the speakers, then this jack might now be
defective and may not switch back to the speakers.
