How to get sound via headphones from CD-ROM
Dumb question, but how do I hook up a very simple headphone set to my
computer in order to listen to an audio CD without it coming through the desk speakers? Have tried plugging the jack(?) into the CD-ROM, and have checked all the sound settings to make sure nothing is muted. The sound still comes through the desk speakers. Any suggestions? |

Thanks, Max. I'm not quite sure what you mean about "the Play button on the
cd-rom itself." I have two drives, one has only one button, which opens and shuts the drive, the other has two buttons, open/shut and play, but when the play button is activated, the sound still comes from the desk speakers, even though I have a headphone set attached to the cd-rom.

Mute the speakers (use the tray icon). Plug the headphones into the jack on the CD drive. Rotate the volume wheel on the CD drive to the desired sound level. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

open the case and see if you have a sound cable coming from the back of the cd-rom to the motherboard if not that is why the sound doesnt work, through the headphones i only found out the other day when i opened mine to install a dvd-rw

Barb, if none of the responses to your post work, it may be because you have
a Dell PC. Dell reroutes the headset output to behind the flap on the front of your PC. Lift it up and you'll see a headphone jack and two USB ports. It should work there.
