Thanks for your suggestion. I am also thinking of getting a USB adapter and trying it out. It seems like a good approach that should work without opening the motherboard to get the broken headphone part out. The USB headphones I spoke about are headphones that directly plug into the USB port. They are a lot more expensive (I believe the decent ones start at about Rs 2000) but they offer better quality as well. -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
