I can't hear anything through my headphones, but I can hear throught the speakers just fine.

Any ideas?

Broken headphone wire. I had this a while back. Probably due to too much flexing and twisting.

Unplug speakers, plug in headphones. No, you can't plug them into the microphone port.

If that doesn't work, buy WORKING headphones.

It's a laptop Serge, the speakers are built in.

Ah. Can you try it out with other headphones / external speakers?

Or the headphone being cheap.

I'm not criticizing you :P

When I bought a very cheap headphone (well they were really earplugs on wire on a sound plug), they broke a few months later because of the broken tiny copper wire near the earplug's magnet. I think the soldering was bad quality.

And i was too lazy/had no material to repair it, knowing that it was cheap (so low quality) and would eventually fail soon. But i still bought it because I am greedy. There.

I have had the same apple headphones for 4-5 yeas now.. never a single drama with them...

high cost products are worth it in the long run

My first MP3 player had a problem with the jack, so I only got sound out of the right ear. And then I broke the headphones so they only produced sound out of the left ear. =D I think just don't flex them around too much, they should still be fine. I've had these ones for a couple of years, and they're still working well.
