    Hi. I have a stock P-6860FX and my headphones refuse to work. I have them plugged in correctly and they're not even showing up under my playback options. Am I missing a driver?

    go control panel / idt audio... /
    click on the plug icons
    then you can click on any specific plug on the right side in order to set it up

    i think you need to install the IDT/SigmaTel Audio Driver,
    for some reason the gateway site host only the 32 bit driver...
