Mike, Sorry I can't be of more help as I am an XP user and was trying to work from memory of my brother-in-laws Vista machine which is now on the fritz and being repaired.

I even tried to plug it into the front headphone socket, but still no sound from speakers, but on pluggin in my USB headphones, I get sound from them!!! Really odd, is this a trait of Vista? On-line I read of a master volume control, but I cannot find it on control panel in sound, they sure make it easy!! Mike
