To get headphones to work on the Library computers: 

  • Restart the PC with the headphones connected already.

If the headphones are connected after start-up, the headphones are not recognised and audio controls do not function properly.

  • If you have wired headphones:
 
1.      Plug your headphones into the headphones port located on the side of the monitor.
2.      A popup will usually appear asking you to select which device you have plugged in.
3.      Select ‘headphones’ > ‘ok’
4.      To adjust volume, click the sound icon on the right hand side of the Taskbar.
 
  • If no popup appears or sound is playing through monitor speakers not your headphones, try the following:
    Search for the Control Panel on your computer > select ‘Hardware and Sound’ > under ‘Sound’ there are options to adjust system volume and manage audio devices.
