I have a problem which really bugs me. My laptop speakers work perfectly, but whenever I plug in my headphones, there's just no sound. Nothing is muted, my settings are good, so I really don't know why this happens. I also have Windows installed on my laptop, and whenever I plug them in while running Windows, they work. (I use freya)
Does anyone have an idea why this happens and/or a solution? Thanks.

it will bring up a graphic equaliser where you can adjust the volume for the headphone independently from your speakers. You may have to press F6 to choose your soundcard. I would assume the headphone levels are muted (depicted with a MM). Your headphones may be listed as AUX. Failing that, do you have 'Beats Audio' or any special brand name speakers on your laptop?
