No sound when headset is plugged in
Hello all,
I am on laptop using Windows 7 home premium 64bit. There is sound when nothing is plugged into the audio jack, but when something is plugged, there is no sound.
I am using also Kubuntu on the same laptop, and the sound works perfectly even when a headset is plugged in the audio jack. So apparently the problem is with the driver.
Also the headset does not appear in my Playback devices at all (neither as disabled/disconnected) (although a notification comes up when I plug a headset in saying that something was plugged into it).
I've been searching for this problem for a long time, and could not find a solution for it.
I tried downloading the driver from dell.com, I even tried re-installing windows all along. Nothing works.
After using windows for the first time after re-installing it, the headset worked properly (even without the official driver installed), but it stopped working upon a restart, which is when I tried installing the driver from dell.com which didn't work.
Please help, this problem is driving me crazy..!
Thanks a lot,
rand
