Headphone Jack

[georgic]

When I insert my headphones (Sony) in the phone jack the sound /music bypasses the headphones causing every one in the room to hear what I am listening to, in the main, You Tube.

Any advice I would be grateful. I have a Acer laptop E1-470 but now out of the twelve months warranty expired in December 14

Thanks

Are you sure you're not using the microphone Jack by mistake?

Can you try, gently, to push the Jack in further?

Sorry but there is no microphone jack on this Acer laptop.
I have been using the correct jack for headphones for many months with out any problems till now
Jenny I have tried two other headsets with out success.
Thank you both.

After inserting the plug try moving it about 0.5 - 1mm back out and see if that disables the speakers.

Thank you Methyl. I bought it brand new from pc world in December 13 but is now over the 12months so it will cost me to have it repaired at a local repair shop. Do not want to take it to Pc world.
Thanks again.
