external speakers won't play media sounds

Postby jtbauer on Fri Aug 29, 2008 12:33 pm

I am plugging in speakers to the front jack of my laptop for headphones, and the audio isn't coming out of them when I play media, doesn't matter what program I use (the sound still comes out of the built in speakers). I don't think I need to install drivers for them because when I go to control panel > sounds> headphones> advanced and click "test", sound does come out of them. I tried to play with the "exclusive mode" settings of both the speakers and headphones, but I couldn't get any combo to work...
