so the IT guys were here from California last week, and installed my cd burner... but somewhere in that process, my headphones no longer get all of the sound channeled to them. For some reason, if I plug my headphones into the front of my machine at the headphone jack, I get music in them *and* coming out of my computer speaker. This is a big unhappy, cause it means that I can't listen to music at work, like I was. It means lots of long long afternoons until I can fix it.

anybody know where the secret button may be hiding?

otherwise I will have to break down and get some headphones that plug into the sound card in back. bleh... that would be a major pain in the ass...
