I have a HP DV 2000 notebook that is about 3 months old. It is running windows Vista business. Yesterday i noticed that the front headphone jacks will not work. I have tired all the drivers i could find however the ports still will not work. I here a pop when i insert headphones into the jack however sound still ONLY comes from the PC sneakers . Any ideas??

The sound on my doc also doesn't work. . When i plug in the docking station the speakers connected to it doesn't work ether. Sound still comes out of the PC speakers.

If you still hear the sound from speakers after pluging jacks in, it can be faulty audioboard, or audioboard is not properly connected to motherboard.
on one_certified_wi question answer is - you just burned your audioboard, you can connect them nominal line-in.
