-   same problem same model.. But the interesting part is that when i plug the headphones in the HD audio shows that i've plugged headphones into the jack. At first it was just occasionaly and after the reboot they've started working again. But for know I haven't heard a beep for a few months. And my headphones work on other devices too. And another problem is my battery when i'ts plugged in the computer just shut's down for know reason after 10 minutes. And the computer woldn't even start chargeing. I'm never ever going to brought an Acer in my life.!!!-   rax001

i got tired of trying all these suggestions because i can't seem to get consistent results... so i simply went to radio shack and bought a set of usb headphones... they plug into a usb port and work excellently

Check whether the songs are playing thru speakers....
If it is not working thru speakers..try to reinstalll audio drivers
I have the same problem (Travelmate 2482 - not Aspire) when I switch between linux and windows (XP prof.) or sometimes when laptop is working all day. The only one solution which works (in my case) is to turn off computer and disconnect AC adapter and battery for approx. 1.5 hour.

I've the same problem but slightly different. My headphone jack doesn't work. There's no sound at all. Speakers are absolutely fine. My computer is Zenith manufactured in 2002.

my speakers work but when I plug in my headphones I hear static at first and then there is no sound in the headphones. I have tried several headphones and it doesn't matter
All symptoms exactly same here. Should we all call ACER together

exact same problem
stand by didn't solve it either
i did play with the spdif port by removing the cover and jiggling it
it fixed soemtimes and sometimes didn't
i like to know a permanent solution
same problem... except i don't even get static... laptop speakers work fine... headphone stopped working two days ago on laptop (headphones still work fine on other equipment so i know it's the laptop jack)... i've had the laptop almost a year now and this is the first problem i've had... but after googling for info i've found a LOT of posts with the same problem, but have yet to find a solution to the problem
