in Headphones
I used to have speakers with a headphone jack in them, but these Bluetooth speakers require me to plug the headphones in the back of the motherboard. The sounds comes out both and defeats the purpose of having headphones. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

    Sorry about that. It's a brand called Solution and the speakers are R40. USB-powered 2.0 speakers.

    Are they the "Soulion R40" speakers? If so, can you turn down the volume of the speakers and still have the headphones operate from the motherboard? What component are you referring to by: "motherboard"

    The tower of my PC. Yes, they are Solution R40 speakers and, no, I am unable to turn down the volume and still have the headphones work. And I made a mistake before---I've since realized that the headphones don't work at all---the sound I was hearing was from the speakers alone. It looks as if my computer lacks a headphone jack. I had read that the green hole usually is the right jack, but I tried all three and none of them worked. I'm surprised, because my computer isn't that old. I hope I don't have to buy new speakers that come with a headphone jack, like my last ones did. They were a Christmas gift from my brother, who sent them to me via Amazon, so I can't really return them under the circumstances.

    It might be possible to add a headphone junction box. In order to know if it is possible can you tell us what model computer you have and what the connections on it are?
    By the way the speaker company is called: Soulion, as in Soul Lion, I guess.

    Well, it was built for me by a long-time computer repair fellow I've known for years, so it doesn't actually have a model number, one that I can see anyway. I may call him tomorrow and ask him and hopefully he can tell me if there's a working headphone jack. He's been away for quite awhile but returning this weekend. I have a Bell connection for the Internet, but it's certainly not a super-fast one.
