But the problem is whenever i listen the music on my Headphone it also play on speaker. What should i do for mute volume for my speaker. I do not want to plug unplug every time on speaker. Can anyone have any idea. Please suggest me. My speaker model is IBox and headphone is intex.

You have said that you formatting the system so may be all drivers and software that control volume is also deleted with this formatting. You should install the drivers and software for volume control from your CD/DVD resources software that come with your Laptop. First you need to installed that and restart your Laptop and check its working or not. If you face any issue reply.

Can you send me what drivers and volume supported software you have used.
There will be different setting for speaker and headphone audio in software that is mostly depend of audio software like nvidea ,cmedia etc. It may have option for shaking headphone to speaker and speaker to headphone. So you have changed output sound to headphone not speaker.

You may change your i/o setting by double clicking on the small speaker icon located in the tray in XP. This is located near your right hand corner on your screen. you have doubled click on that speaker icon then a volume control windows will pop up. But the fact that Microsoft has left it up to the audio I/O device manufacturers to design this component. Basically that output volume control dialog for two common audio I/O device manufacturers that depend on you device manufacturer. Then you have set front setting, right and left setting , channel setting and headphone setting from this panel.

There will be a three lead on your Laptop. If you want to out put your audio as speaker just plug the speaker lead on that and if you need headphone just unplug speaker lead and plug headphone lead on that. This is the best solution for you. You can also try shaking the lead on audio input / output port on your laptop.

There will be a specific software for your laptop that will play audio. You want to double click on that ,most probably that will inside your control panel i.e., realtek or cmedia .You have to change your audio input setting from that. There will be in line outline, Just put it down as per your requirement on it. Let check and reply.
