the head phone jack is supposed to shut off the spaeakers when you plug in the head phones. the contact in the phone jack might be bent out of shape. this happens when crazy kids wiggle the phone plug side-to-side and ruin it. a technician can bend it back in place but i imagine they would just replace it to save time. until you get it fixed just turn down the speakers.

Could be many things, your sound card, your head set, if you hook up to a speaker, it could be your speakers.  Try a different headset see if it works.  Check the drivers on your sound card, they might be corrupted.

Try adjusting the sound in the media player or your computers sound. It may also be the sound card.

you might have accidently touched the sound card or whatever you call it which might have broke it or unplugged it a bit or even moved it out of place a little. Wheck if its connected

This has happened to me a dozen times, and it embarrasses me every time.  This may not work, but read carefully.\n\nMany computers now adays have two different ports for your speakers (one for a sound card that is mounted on the mother board and one that is mounted to an actual sound card).  I know you said you plugged them into the right hole, but don't be so sure.  Just because colors match doesn't necessarily mean it is right.  Check the back of the computer for another hole that is about the same size and try it (there may be more than one).

OK make sure the sound card is enabled in the BIOS then make sure if you have connected any front auto panel cables make sure they are correct or make sure in Windows setup that "Sounds" are installed," update the sound card drivers, make sure it is not on mute, try different speakers/headphones etc.

Check if your sound card/chip driver is enabled.\n\nNext check if your speaker volume control is set to mute/set to 0 in the control panel under sound, speakers.\n\nIf all else fails send in for servicing.

Check your sound card software.if you are using intel motherboard then "soundmax" may be the culprit.

Step 1: Checking volume and mute settings:\nThe volume setting for one or more sound devices might be disabled or set too low. Use the following steps to adjust volumes to their correct levels:\n\nIn Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel \nIn Windows XP, open Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Sound and Audio Devices.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, open Sounds and Multimedia, and then click the Audio tab. \nIn Windows XP, click the Advanced button under Device Volume.\nIn Windows 98 and Me, click the Volume button under Sound Playback. \nRemove all checkmarks from Mute boxes at the bottom of the Master Volume window and adjust the volume setting slide bars to their highest positions. Close the Master Volume window and test for sound. If there is still no sound, go to the next Step. \n\nStep 2: Verifying the connections:\n\nUse the following steps to verify that the sound cables are properly connected from the speaker to the computer (cable connectors and plug assignments are normally color-coded to aid with connections).\n\nUnplug the sound cable. \nPlug headphones or one speaker directly into the speaker out connector on the back of the computer. The speaker out connector may have a symbol of a speaker \nor a circle with an arrow pointing out, or it may just say "OUT" next to it. Test for sound using the computer. If sound does not work, go to "Step 3: \n\nIf sound is restored when the headphones or one speaker is plugged in, replace the original sound cable with a new sound cable and test for sound. Sound should be restored after replacing the sound cable. If sound does not come back after replacing the cable, the sound card needs to be replaced because the speaker out connector is bad.\n\nStep 3: Configuring on-board sound in the BIOS:\n\nSome computers come with sound on the motherboard (on-board), and some computers use a sound card. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS has to be set according to your particular sound configuration. Perform the following steps to correctly configure the sound in the BIOS:\n\nLook at the back of your computer and use one of the following three items to determine the proper sound configuration and sound setting: \nIf the plugs for the speakers and microphones are located next to the parallel, serial, or USB ports, then the computer has on-board sound. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS should be Enabled. If the plugs for the speakers and microphone are located away from the other ports and sit in an area by themselves, the computer has a soundcard. The on-board sound setting (if there is one) in the BIOS should be Disabled. If the computer has sound plugs in both locations, a \nsoundcard has been added to the computer that already contains on-board sound. The on-board sound setting should be Disabled. To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and when the first screen appears, press the F1 key repeatedly until the BIOS Setup screen opens. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to select the Advanced tab. Press the DOWN ARROW key to select Onboard Audio Options and press ENTER. If Onboard Audio Options is not available, select I/O Device Configuration and press ENTER. If Audio Codec is listed, select it and press ENTER. Select either Enabled or Disabled depending on your \nconfiguration and press ENTER. Press the F10 key and then press ENTER to save and exit Start Windows and check for sound. If there is still no sound, continue to the next Step.\n\nStep 4: Restoring the sound drivers\n\nUse the recovery process to restore individual drivers for a sound or combination sound-modem card. \n\nIf the computer came with recovery discs (Windows 98 and Me), place the last disc of the set into the top disc drive and follow the on-screen menus as they appear. Restart the computer after restoring the sound driver software and test for sound.\nIf there is still no sound, continue to th

Sadly, there are no programs as such to do your job, unless it is part of the driver. Try using Control Panel to find the sound card settings (possibly under System, Device Manager). You might find a setting, but I doubt it.\n\nThis tends to be because a laptop's speakers aren't very big anyway. Space inside the laptop and power it uses from the battery prevent it being too good.\n\nThe best option is to buy plug-in speakers or use headphones. If you buy plug-in speakers, be sure to get mains powered or the quality won't be much better.

u need to contact the PC manufacturer for this, most probably your PC needs audio drivers, which may be missing from it. Just download it from the manufacturer's website, install them, restart the PC and enjoy the music.

if the back of your stereo has RCA type of inputs, those are the connectors that are red and white , you will need a cable that has a stereo 3.5mm output plug for the laptop headphone plug and then that cable splits to the rca plugs,  attach to pc and then to an unused set on the stereo like aux or phono.  then turn your stereo selection to the right input type and listen.  the cable will look like this http://www.cablestogo.com/product_list.asp?cat%5Fid=2009&sortType=partNum&sortDir=DESC&engine=adwords!654&keyword=%28rca+to+3.5+mm+plug%29

It sounds like it may be your speakers that are the problem   if you have them up really loud and/or the treble/bass is really high turn that down   also if you have a mic pluged into your PC unplug it or mute it   also make sure the cable going from your PC to your speakers doesn't have any breaks in the wires anywhere   if possible get new speakers    also sometimes things around your speakers will rattle and shake when they're on making a staticy scratchy sound sometimes
