    I currently have an Acer Travelmate 2480-2705. I can no longer hear sound when using the headphones. I have tried to update the Realtek HD Audio Manager; and have visited the Microsoft Download Center looking for whatever might pertain to Realtek and Windows XP SP2. Now I'm at a loss. If someone can give me some direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    I have sound from the laptop speakers. It's only when I try to use the headphones that I get nothing.

    that is strange... my best guess would be to uninstall Sound Card Drivers and then install newest ones.
