Okay this has happened to me a few times before but normally unplugging my headphones and plugging them back in and restarting a song or whatnot would fix it..

basically when i go to play a song with my headphones plugged in it plays through my laptops speakers as well when i just want it to play through my headphones
any ideas?
thanks guys

the headphone jack itself most likely buggered.
if not under warrenty pull jack out and straighten up the 3 contacts

or get a small cotton bud and some cleaner, something alcohol based and give the actual plug a bit of a clean

Format.

but the the headphones are USB ones and the microphone on it works fine ?

okay so i have two side usb ports and 2 at the back of my laptop
it works fine in one of the back ports but not in either of the two side ones..

yet the two side ones work fine with my flash drive?

I'm with clint (hate to say it) format, or at least re-install the headphone/soundcard drivers.
