Answer 1

Head phones are not really a complicated peice of tech. Sorry but simply your headphones are broken. It's not like a car were you can fix it. The wires in the headphones just get old and come loose.

Answer 2

Try a different pair of headphones. This happened too me because a wire was loose in my headphones. You can try wiggling the wire too, but the headphones will stop working at one point.

Answer 3

Make sure your Sound Driver isn't disabled; it may have inadvertently disabled itself during shutdown:

Go to Device Manager (Start> RightClick My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager) and right click on your sound driver and choose enable. If not, try updating the driver, which will effectively restore it to factory settings if there's an update available.

If you don't know the name of you Sound Driver, so to Start> Run> dxdiag. Now go to the Sound Tab and any sound hardware installed is listed.

If that still doesn't work, the driver may have been uninstalled. If so, go to your computer's manufacturer's website and go to the "Support" section. There should be a link for drivers. You will need to know your computer's model, but once you enter that it will give you an option to download any missing drivers. Just find the Sound Driver and install it.

Hope that helps =]
