Dumb Question! LOL

[moonifa]

Hello! I have a friend who has a Compaq Presario MV700 and she doesn't know where to plug in her headphones. I am not familiar with Compaq but went to their website and checked out their sound problem area even though her speakers and sound are working fine.

It said to unplug the speakers and plug in headphones into the speaker out jack to see if sound worked then. But surely there is another place for her to plug into?

She said there was no place to plug into on the back of her sound card or in front of the cd drive itself. She says it is only five years old so I know there has to be a place for them! Does anyone else have one of these?

Thank you very much for your time! Moonifa

Is there a green port in which you can plug it into (usually they are green) Also look for a little microphone label on all of the ports

That would be the standard way to use (plugging into the speaker jack). There is usually a spot on the front of the cd-rom that will take a headphone jack, BUT the output is not amplified as it would be at the speaker jack. The volume would be extremely low.

Look on the front of the speakers themselves. There is often a minijack receptical there for headphones.

Yes... and I wouldn't plug the headphones into the CDROM drive... you'd have to play with a bunch of configurations to get it to work.

By the way, the dumbest questions are those never asked...

Call me crazy, but my ill-gotten airline headphones work fine in the front of my cdrom drive.....no hoops to jump thru either, just plugged them in

Ditto and I use my cheapees there when converting LP's to digital burns to keep track of decibel changes in a needed flat audio environment. Now what was the reason to leave TSG?
