    I did a fresh install of Vista on my 7811. But for some reason when I plug in my earphones, I can still hear the speakers. The laptop doesn't automatically switch over to earphone usage. Is there a fix for this? It's a pain having to set the sound properties every time.

    if you have bios 9c.12.00 on your 7811 that is the problem. Search the forum for more detail.

    Nope, happens with 9c.08.00 as well. Theres been other threads about this, I started one myself. From what I've seen, there's been no answer as to how to fix it but a lot of peopel have the same problem.

    I just reinstalled the drivers from gateway and it works fine... when i went to BIOS .12 audio drivers were both recognized as something like HD something something something. so i replaced the with the nvidia hdmi driver from gateway and the other sound driver... sorry at work typing fast and don't have lappy in front of me. hopefully it can steer you in the right direction and help...
