    Control Panel, Sigmatel audio control panal. Set your jacks up accordingly.

    However if you are running an older XP driver that allows stereo mix, then one of the jack's is dsiabled.

    Thats not the sigmatel audio option from control panel. (thats the sound option)

    In the sigmatel Audio option you have the choice to set your 2 ports up as both headphone or as Front Speaker and Centre Speaker. By default i think the left port is front and the right port is centre.

    Ah cool, I didn't pay enough attention to that "little" detail :)
    I works like a charm now!
