Front Headphone Jack...Help

[Steve09]

On my old PC case I had a front headphone jack...

When I plugged my headphones into the jack, it over rode the speakers so I could only hear sound in my headphones.

Now I have just changed PC case, I have a new headphone jack on the front which came with the case.

When I plug my headphones into this new jack, the sound comes through the headphones AND now it comes out the speakers aswell...so I now have to turn my speakers off when I want to use my headphones.

Why has this changed since I have started using my new headphone jack which was supplied with my new PC case?

Thanks in advance, Steve

Dr.EM thank you for the reply!

So what do I need to look at? I have the old headphone jack, and I have also kept my m/board, which I am using now.

What would I need to do then to change it to a switch type?

Thanks

wow!

thanks for helping, but I think I'm just going to turn my speakers off when I want to use my headphones!

yeah its a bugger, my memory card reader off the old case is 3.5inch (fits perfectly on the new case)

the old headphone and microphone jack along with 2xUSB ports and a firewire port is in a square shape, so that cant go anywhere on the new case

unless I cut a square hole in one of the spare CD drives bit of plastic covering and mount it there in the future.

Thanks, Steve
