I had a problem similar to this before, but it was easily sorted.

When I'm listening to music through the internal speakers on my laptop it works fine, however when i plug a head set in it doesn't work. I'm running on Vista home basic is if makes much of a difference.

Everything was working fine until i re-formatted my laptop.

Before when i had a similar problem i just needed to update my sound card drivers, however when i do it this time it says that i already have the latest version of drivers installed.

Please help

Ok the only other thing I can say is delet the drivers to the sound card reboot then re-install the sound card only do this if you know what you are doing.

And make sure you get the audio drivers from the laptop makers site, don't use the Windows default ones.
