Earbud Combo-Jack won't fit.
I have a new laptop (and see specs) that I'm slowly learning to use and I'm having a problem inserting the 3.5mm combojack (CJ) into the jack's receptacle, has anyone ran across this?
I'm pretty sure I can't hear sound from the earbuds because when I have the CJ in as far as I dare the sound continues to play from the CD thru the laptops speakers and as long as I've been using devices like this, the sound stops coming from the main speakers when you plug in the jack and you have to use what you plugged in, in order to listen to what you're playing on the optical drive.
This is as far as I dare but it still sticks out a 1/16th of an inch; That's a wireless mouse dongle to the left of the CJ, that went in okay, a bit snug, but okay:
The power adapter plug acted the same way, went in 3/4 of the way but I had to use more force than I wanted to, to insert the last 1/16 of an inch, I know I'm going to have to use more force on the CJ than the power plug to finish inserting the CJ, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else ran across this before I made an attempt.
