when i pug in a set of headphones my computers audio switches over to the headphones but the game keeps playing through my speakers (im on a laptop so i can't plug into the speakers to mute them) the game does not detect the headphones and the only way to change the audio over in to close out and restart anyone else having this problem?

What operating system?

Sounds like a problem with your laptop config. Once you plug into the headphone jack the laptop shud cut off the external/internal speaker. I hvae a Thinkpad W500 and use a headset too. Never had this problem in any game including tihs one. Might want to google our laptop model and look for any audio configuration settings that might affect this.

windows 7 and it only habbens with sto

THERE IS A TECH FORUM WTF....

It's like people don't know how to read anymore.

I think a better question would be the kind of hardware you are using. The kind of laptop and the audio chipset specifically.

Have you tried updating your audio drivers? Even on brand new laptops you will often find you have 3 year old drivers for some of your hardware.

abbarintly you can't the tech forum is for actual tech spport i was just asking if any body else had the same problem

drivers are up to date the game detects the headphones if they're pluged in when it boots it just wont detect the change to headphones after the fact

Well I'd like you to tell us all how this ISN'T a tech problem.

BTW, Windows 7 64 bit here, no problems. It's on your end, you need to go to the tech forums. That is what they are there for. Tech problems that do not have to do with the game directly. Use it. You're welcome.

I see this on my desktop sometimes.

Go into the ingame Audio config. You may have some options for which port to push sound thru.

Mine gives me both rear (speakers) and front (headphones) as options.
