My wife has a cat that likes to make trouble like that, but I checked |
| 16 |
the back of her PC and everything seems to be plugged in where it's |
| 17 |
supposed to be. Still no sound. What confuses me is that it works |
| 18 |
perfectly in Windows XP. My wife's monitor is one that has the speakers |
| 19 |
built onto the monitor. She sometimes asks to borrow my headphones so |
| 20 |
she can do her labs for French class without disturbing me. I can't |
| 21 |
seem to find where she plugs the headphones in at, but I'll ask her when |
| 22 |
she gets home. It can't hurt to try, right? |
