I purchased this dell computer about a year and a half ago.running windows XP. Not very good with it yet but I tried to use the headphone jack on the front and I get no sound. Tried turning up the volume and checked the on screen volume control and can't get it to work. Is this supposed to work like a stereo when you plug it in it shuts off the speakers or is there something I'm missing. I see a lot of computer literate people on here and thought maybe someone would know something. al marquardt ampm@xxxxxxx ***************************************************************************** Submit A Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html ***************************************************************************** For automatic password retrieval 24 hours a day, go to: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?". *****************************************************************************
