    Sound on speakers but not via headphones

    Hello, I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me with this seemingly odd problem.

    I've just purchased a new laptop, Sony Vaio AR51E and following installation of Fiesty am having issues with sound. Playing just on the laptop speakers works fine but I can't seem to get anything when using the headphones. If I plug headphones into the port nothing comes out on them and the sound just continues to player through the speakers. The headphone port is definitely functional as it works fine under Vista.

    Any help would be much appreciated, I mainly use the laptop in a shared office so headphones are a must if I wish to listen to music while I work.
