turn off the speakers? (or is this a laptop?) If it’s onboard sound, you’re probably running the AC’97 codecs… if so, you should be able to change it thru there… if not, I’m not sure what to tell ya. Maybe you can shut them off in the bios? ---

ok this is happening again, and i really can’t work without my music…anybody please help… i pulled up the volume control board thingie, and clicked the mute box for the PC Speaker option…and sound still is coming through on the speakers and the head phones…this really pisses me off…last year, i could just plug the head phones in, and the sound would automatically stop coming through the speakers and start coming through the headphones…now it’s staying in both… /rant ---

when you start the computer, you should see something that says “press F2 to enter setup” (it may be worded differently or it maybe be a different key, like “DEL”). Look thru the menus and you should find something that will give you the option to turn off the speakers. change it, save and exit should be good to go ---
