Here is some similar quirky behavior: HP laptop with Vista - let's say that I am listening on headphones to some audio or video through itunes ( maybe other apps also)... I stop the media and close the lid - pull the headphones - travel - then open it up - put back the headphones - start the media ... No matter how many times I re- insert the headphones - all the audio comes out of the speakers till I reboot the machine... - if I pull the headphones before I close the lid ... There's no problem... - sounds like the same guy worked on the audio interface for both platforms... Maybe he needs to do a little more bug checking... -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists]
