Problem: Media of various types will play though laptop’s speakers but no on inserting headphones.

Whether or not you agree our Fat Disclaimer applies

Solution:

1. Control Panel > Sound > Select Headphones.

2. Make headphones default and click ‘ok’.

Headphones then play well.

Removing headphones allows speakers to play.

Yes, why? I dunno why this happens and I don’t care. The only thing that’s needed is the fix.
