    hey guys

    we have three jacks on the side of our laptop for studio

    for your lappies sound card two things should come up right? the Headphones and the speakers output

    now......if i have headphones in the first jack (closest to me when im looking at the screen).....and my speakers are plugged into the second one.......should they both output sound? is there a way to make both output sound? (because only sound comes out of my headphones in this scenario)

    I'm pretty sure the jack is fine b/c if i setup the speakers in 5.1 surround sound all of the speakers get their inputs (and it works)..........

    so what is going on?

    i have updated my drivers twice btw....should i reinstall the old ones?

    thanks

    no one can confirm that these issues are with my laptop alone?

    Hi. I get sound out of both my headphones and my speakers at the same time. I'm not sure what you else you could do, if you've already updated your drivers... Just out of interest, why would you want to listen to both headphones and speakers at the same time? Not that that doesn't mean that you should still not look in to it, after all we all want everything to work as it should :)

    By the way have you tried it with two sets of headphones to see if that works? I can't see why it would make a difference, but you could try.

    well.....the main reason is

    b/c i would like to use my laptop for djing purposes

    so...........the sound which people would actually hear would come out of the speakers......and the sound which only the dj hears.......would output from the headphones.....i know i've gotten this to work before...i'm just not sure why not this time.
