    When I plug the headset in, the sound is routed to the headphones, but the internal speakers continue to sound also.
    Is there a way to turn off the internal speakers off while listening through the headphones? :confused:

    Please make sure the correct drivers are installed.

    Have you reinstalled Windows lately? or done anything of the sort with your laptop?

    No, nothing unusual. I am running dual boot with Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 8.10. I did forget to mention that the speakers do cut off when using the headset in Windows. So I imagine you are correct about the drivers. Now, can you help me with the driver business? Where do I look, and for what?
