If you jack in your phones to this usually bright green slot (grouped with a lot of others like shown in the picture below) then you are using on-board sound chip.


But if you have a separate card in PCI slot then it's separate sound card. The green jack would be aligned similarly like your video card.

My guess is that you use on-board audio since you don't know.

Anyway if you are having the on-board one then go to BIOS and check that you have it ON. I doubt this will be the cure for the problem though. Next step is to plug in your phones to a stereo and check that they are ok. The last step is loan a sound card from friend and install it and try that.

What ever the reason you will find out and hopefully you still have the warranty in effect.

It's not unheard of on-board audio chip to say bye bye.

i have got a creative x-fi sound card but it seems it uses a different mute method than i know thats when you mute your wmp everything gets muted so.
