To those audio equipment gurus out on the list... I have a laptop at work and one at home. I have a pair of stereo earphones I use at work when taking notes in meetings. When I plug them into the jack on my HP laptop, I have to slightly pull them out to have the volume at normal levels. When I plug this same pair of earphones into my Toshiba home laptop, I don't hear anything unless I pull it out to a very precarious place that it will not stay on its own.
I found another pair of cheap earphones at home and these work fine in both laptops. The plugs on both earphones seem identical to my novice touch. Any idea why the higher quality earphones have such an issue in the laptops and why they would perform differently, even though the plugs look the same? I'll use the cheaper earphones for now, but they have a tinny sound quality that isn't great, so I'll want to think about different ones, but I don't want to buy new ones if they won't work. The good news here is that it's not my laptop jack, which was my first fear when the other earphones didn't work.
