Headphones not playing sound in Vista

[a7x]

It comes out of the speakers instead. I got em plugged in, but the sound comes out the speakers. I tested it and only the test sound was made in the headphones. Checked if headphones were enabled and working in control panel and they were working and enabled.

Halp.

I've had this problem before using windows 7. Restarting my computer fixed it for me. See if that fixes it. If you've already done that then im not sure.

Unplug your external speakers and then play your music.

Vista does this weird thing to withhold it's copyright infringement bullshit. Whatever the primary device that was plugged in at the time of you opening your music program was, vista will use that to play the music.

If that doesn't work you can click on your taskbar volume icon and select a different playback device (ie. your headphones) but the above should work.

Got a virus on my laptop, de fragged it, it didn't work anymore
