I Am Sofa King We Todd Did! - 03-24-2009, 05:31 PM


I got home today and needed to start processing photos. I sit down at my desk, wake-up the PC, navigate to some MP3s for a jam session, click on some songs and NOTHING! No sound.

No worries, I must have click the mute button. I check the PC mute button. NOPE. Then I check WMP mute button. NOPE. Oh....I know what it is...it's the mute button on the external speakers. NOPE! What the heck is going on? I crawl underneath my desk and check all the speaker wiring. NOPE, wires are fine. WTF is going on? Could Windows 7 (7057) being failing? I open Device Manager to check for any conflicts with audio drivers. All is well and nothing wrong in there.

Now I am stumped, frustrated and pissed off. I'm suppose to be able to fix anything PC. Right before I'm about to give up and leave my office, I look down towards the front of my PC and notice........the headphones are plugged in!

only after I said the title slowly and outloud did I finally get it. A shocked glare from the wife as I said it slowly and outloud was another clue.

and boy, did I get it....
