ive noticed that all of my 3 cd drives have a slot for headphones, but when i play music either on the PC or from an inserted disc there seems to be no sound form the headphones, so what is the point in them being there?

is it possible to get them to work?

help would be appreciated :)

i think you need to plug in something from your CD drive to your soundcard

i've managed to run CDs using the play and next button on the CD drive with headphones plugged in. if there's a play button on the drive try pressing that?

You can always just plug them straight into the sound card.

It only works with regular audio discs and i think only when you're using analog sound. (very rare with modern computers).

basically the headphones jack is useless.
