    Disable laptop speakers but enable headphones when plugged in


    Hi, I bought a laptop and apparently windows doesn't distinguish between the integrated speakers and a headphones when these are plugged in. Basically I want to experience the same that I was experiencing in my desktop PC... if I play a song and I don't have a headphone plugged in the jack I can't hear anything... but when I plug-in a headphones in the jack I can hear everything.... is that possible? I don't understand why the headphones are not functioning once I disable the SPEAKERS. Thanks.

    :)

    Speakers playing when headphones are plugged in

    I have an HP laptop with windows 10. When my headphones are plugged in, the speakers are still playing. When I go to sounds, the only device listed is the speakers. How can I silence the speakers when the headphones are plugged in.

    Disable speakers and keep headphone jack enabled?


    Where I work, the IT department made the mistake of purchasing computers with built-in speakers. We do not want the speakers to function at all, only any sound put through the headphone jack. After disabling the speakers, we found that YouTube no longer works, which is a problem.

    That said, is there a way to permanently disable the speakers, leave the headset jack enabled and still allow YouTube to continue playing videos even if a headset is not plugged in?

    Plug broke off in rear speaker jack: front headphone jack disabled now

    Your sound driver may have options to enable/disable jacks based on what's plugged in the front/rear. For instance, my Realtek driver has:

    As for removing the broken plug it would depend on how far in it broke and how tight the jack is. I don't have any personal experience but there are a number of suggestions if you Google for "how to remove broken 3.5mm jack."
