Kelly,
You gave me an idea and it worked! I took the speaker
plug out (of the line out stereo connector port) and
plugged the headphone part of the headset into the line
out connector port where the speakers connect and I GOT
SOUND THROUGH THE HEAD PHONES LOL! WOW I am so happy. If,
it were not for you Kelly I would not have thought of
that. You see I never thought of putting the headphones
into the computer speaker port because it is not right
next to the microphone port.And the port next to the
microphone did not play speakers or head setLike you say
could be a cable mix up or something. THANKS AGAIN Kelly.
