    Hey guys, had my Averatec 6130H1 for about 8 months and love it. but lately i just noticed that when i plug in my headphones, the sound does not quit going through the speakers. i can hear it in my headphones, but it still plays through the speakers.... anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it or do i just need to reinstall my driver??

    Thanks

    -Blake

    Hi Blake. there is some possibilty this is a mechanical problem with the jack itself. Most jacks I am familiar with (not to say this is the same) maintain a connection to pass the audio through to the speakers until a jack is inserted. placing the jack in, mechanicaly breaks the connection to the speakers and connects the audio to the headphones. Having said that, I'm not sure how easy it would be to replace the jack. Rex.
