Speaker/headphone/audio jack problem

[victorjohn9211]

I've recently been having a problem with my headphones. The computer recognizes that I've plugged them in but it still uses the external speakers and there's no sound coming through the headsets. I've tried more than one pair of headphones and it still doesn't work. Restarting the computer worked once but not anymore.

Cleaning the jack may help. No harm in trying with a piece of dry cloth
