Hi:
If my memory serves me right (I don't have my dc7800 hooked up right now), there is a setting in the ADI soundmax control setting to enable multi-streaming.
Check that box and restart the PC.
That setting allows the front and back audio ports to work independently.
After you do that, you should now see a headphone setting to enable in the manage sound section of the control panel.
This is only going to work if you were able to successfully install the W7 Soundmax audio driver.

> recognized my microphone but it doesnt work.
Click the small "speaker" icon on the bottom-right of your "notification area".
Then, click "mixer".
Either "unmute" the microphone input, or move the slider to 100%, to see if that "pumps-up" the sound-level from the microphone into your computer.

I fixed it earlier through a forum and its good now but my headphones are so low i can barely hear anything on my other pc the headphones work correctly.
Everything is turned to the max on the volume options and when i ran the troubleshooter it said that everything is fine.
