    never seen that before.

    dig around the sound settings in the control panel.

    well if i plug in external speakers, like desktop speakers, it also plays out both sets of speakers...

    is there any way to fix that so i can listen to my music with only headphones on, or have it coming from the external speakers, and not the laptop ones??

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello,

    Did you know as to which driver have you used from realtek website and it has resolved issues with sound playing in both acer 3050-1047 laptop speakers and headset.

    Thank you!

    In normal cases, the internal jack of your laptop (or anything has a headphone plug), is the one that stops sound to the speakers when you plug your headphones, it's mechanical, a little blade is in contact with one or the other circuit depending on jack plugged or unplugged. I'm surprised you could solve this problem with a driver, because everytime I saw this kind of problem in the past it was due to a broken female jack...
