Earphones doesn't turn off the in-built speakers
I have Windows Vista Bussines. When I try to connect an earphones to the
stereo jack, the in-built speakers of my HP Portable PC still makes sounds.
So, I can't listen to music in a quiet enviroment with earphones without
making some noice.
How can I configure my in-Built Intel AC'97 soundcard so I can switch
between earphones and speakers?

Hello Luca-
That's usually a function of hardware, not software... did it switch back
and forth before you upgraded to Vista? What happens when you try a
different pair of speakers or headphones?

Guys I have the problem (Window XP), cant find any solution please let me
know if you find something...
Re: Earphones dosen´t turn off the in-built speakers
Not always true -- some manufacturer's audio adapter drivers will automatically
mute speakers and switch the audio output to the headphones when they are
plugged in.

I agree... my low end $399 Toshiba Satellite L35 automatically switches to
the earphones, and back when I unplug them.

suggestions.

While this function is usually in hardware, the AC'97 (and later sound
chips) had programmable audio in/out ports, which is controlled by the
drivers.
Have you tried updating the drivers for the AC'97 sound card? These
will usually be found at the motheboard manufacturers website.
