Has Win7 changeed the sound ports?

[Antony]

Just curios. I installed Win 7 retail on my pc - no sound with the socket I normally use (the middle green one). However after reading several posts on here I decided to try the speaker jack in the other ports and sure enough when I plug into the blue port it works. Any ideas whats happening?

Anthony, the default playback device is set for headphones ... go to your playback devices and set it for speakers... G'morning..

Thanks Tews. Ive just checked it and it is already set to speakers. I do have sound its just not coming out of the socket I expected it to. oh well I shall dig and delve.

Your audio driver is in need of update.

I thought that Antman but Ive already installed the latest off the realtek site.

Are you using only stereo speakers? If so, living with it wouldn't be bad.
:sarc:

Isn't there a setting for auto-mapping the ports?

I use the optical connector out to my sound system, so I don't play with it, but on my X-Fi it is called Flexi-Jack.

I am only using stero at the moment but I was thinking of hooking up a 5:1 as I want to use this particular system as a media centre
