    Is there anything playing for you to hear?  (Sorry could not resist)
     
    Have you checked the Device Manager to see if the sound card has been properly installed?

    And the Device manager indicates it is installed correctly?  Is the Volume control set to Mute?

    Can you get sounds without the headphones (thru the speakers)?

    Nothing wrong with the sound acrd so the problem is between the jack and the sound card, possibly a loose connection.

    Hey
     
    I know its the Vista problem because before vista I had XPS and i was fine and after installing the vista i got this problem. but i didnt update my sound driver because I dont know whats my sounds card and how can i update it.
     
    You try it can you hear anything in your headphone?
     
    Oh i forgot to say , I tried both Plugs and neither work.

    You just posted that sound will come out of the speakers so its not the sound card.  Are any devices showing not installed wihin the Device Manager?
