Hi all,

I just recently re installed POL (with FFXI updating as I post this) through Steam.

It has seemed to cause an audio issue on my laptop. I'm running Windows 7 on an Asus Quad-Core i7 and it's using Realtek HD Audio for the drivers.

What's happening is that when I plug headphones in, it's not detecting that they're plugged in at all and will play audio with speakers and headphones. It will however detect that headphones have been plugged in if I plug them into the microphone jack.

I've tried rebooting my computer, reinstalling/updating drivers, and checking my preferences. Nothing has seemed to worked.

I'm debating on doing a system restore after the game is installed so see if that's an issue. Can I just back up the FFXI folder in my steamapps folder so that I don't have to update the entire game again?

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I'd appreciate it.
