Re: Speakers don't work but headphones do in same audio port

Yes the speakers that I am using are powered and yes they are plugged
in, like I said they work when I simply plug the output cable into my
old computer without changing anything else.

Javi, thanks, I am at work right now and I will try that when I get
home. Then I will let you guys know how it went. I was planning on
dling the new drivers from gigabyte's page when I get home and seeing
if that fixes anything. Thanks.

I have just built a new computer with a gigabyte GA8N-SLI mobo with
built-in audio and I have installed XP and run the drivers disk that
came with the mobo to install the drivers. The drivers appear to be
perfectly fine when I look at the device manager (no warnings or
conflicts) and when I plug in my standard headphones (iPod ear buds was
the closest thing that I grabbed) the sound is fine but when I plug in
my 2.1 speakers (a set of Gateway speakers that I used with my old
comp) no sound is emmitted. I know that there is nothing wrong with
the speakers cause if I plug them into my old comp I can hear
everything just fine. I know that this makes NO sense, but I was
hoping maybe someone came across this problem somewhere and knows the
miracle solution to something small that is driving me NUTS!
