Sound output, comes out headphones AND internal speakers

I've had my refurbished PBG4 1.33 GHz for a few months and when I plug in headphones, the sound comes out the headphones AND the internal speakers of the laptop. I've tried messing w/ the System Prefs/Output with no luck whatsoever. Any suggestions, or anybody else have this problem at all? I've read threads here that have been similar but not quite this particular problem. I need the sound to ONLY come through the headphones when they are plugged in. Kinda defeats the purpose if sound still comes out the laptop internal speakers w/ headphones plugged in.

GO to System Preferences and open "sound".
In "Output" make sure you have selected "headphones" as the source.
In "Input" make sure you have selected "line in"
Also make sure your headphones are plugged into the correct socket. There are two. The one you should be using is the one nearest the front of the computer.

  • Why is my bluetooth speaker connected but sound only comes out of the computer speakers?

    My bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge 2) is shown as "connected in the blu tooth section of the task bar. I have also gone to system preferences and the speakers are also shown to be connected and chosen as the main speakers. However, no sound comes out of the bluetooth speaker but rather the sounds still comes out of the computer. speakers. I have tried connecting, reconnecting, and restarting computer. The bluetooth speaker is also shown as connected in bluetooth preferences. What is wrong?

    I have tried to connect and Jambox and have the same problem; bluetooth speakers are connected and chosen but sound comes out of computer speakers.

  • Music Comes Out Headphones And Speakers At Same Time

    My ipod is playing music out of the headphones and the speakers at the same time and I can't figure out why. I reconnect the headphones and it still plays out of both...It is like it doesn't recognize that there are headphones plugged in, but yet it still plays out of them. Help would be appreciated.

    Are you sure the headphones are plugged all the way in?

  • Boot Camp - audio coming from headphones AND internal speakers

    Am not sure how prevalent this problem is. I've got XP Pro running on my iMac 20", and am guessing I've got a glitch in boot camp's windows audio drivers.
    Normally, when you plug your headphones in, your audio signal is supposed to be routed to them and your internal speakers would be muted. On mine, however, only in XP, plugging in the headphones does indeed cause audio to come out of the headphones, but it does not mute the internal speakers. Basically, I can't stop the audio from coming out the internal speakers without muting everything.
    I've gotten no help from Windows volume controls, and unlike on the Mac OS side, there isn't a separate volume setting when the headphones are unplugged.
    Anybody see this besides me? Anybody find a solution that'll save me the time of waiting for a new audio driver?
    Thanks in advance!

    no new drivers to download. However, the latest Firmware update at least auto-sets the internal speakers to a lower volume at startup (instead of full volume)

  • When useing av cable to a projector, I want the sound to come out headphone jack.

    I am using the av cable to connect the video out to a projector and the headphone jack to speackers.
    If I unplug the av cable the headphone jack provides sound to speakers and  I have volume slider under the play button.
    When I plug in the av cable the volume slider under the play button goes away and the projector works.
    I have been able to make them work befor together.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Think when you connect by hdmi you mute the headset like you mute the soeaker if you use the headset

  • A repeating tapping noise comes out of my internal speakers

    When the volume is on I get this consistent noise dut dut dut dut dut. When I put speakers on mute, it goes away. It is like a low consistent drum/tap noise and the louder i move the volume, the louder the noise. It is constant. Any ideas

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync

  • Headphones in = internal speakers | headphones out = digital output???

    When the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes out from the internal speakers.
    When the headphones are taken out, the sound comes out of the digital output, with a red light shining out the headphone port.

    I have a sort of similar problem, I have an imac 24" and recently purchased a pair of logitech S220 speakers.
    The speakers work fine and all, no problem, but as soon as I plug my headphones into the headphone jack on the logitech remote pod, the sound no longer comes from the superior external speakers, but from the imac speakers. It's quite annoying as I specifically bought these speakers for a louder listening experience at night, and good though the internal speakers are, they don't cut it for me.
    So any way around this guys? how do I listen to my music on headphones through external speakers??
    thank you very much
    regards

  • I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen

    I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

    Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output  and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

  • Sound randomly comes out speakers when using earphones and wierd ZZZZZT sound

    For some wierd reasonm, sound sometimes comes out my speakers when I have my earphones in for like a split second. Also sometimes this wierd ZZZZZT sound comes out when listening to music and scares the living crap outa me.Help please?

    I don't get the weird sound (yet), but the sound will randomly stop coming through the headphones and play through the speakers. This is incredibly frustrating, as I just bought this laptop this month and recieved it yesterday.
    Please, someone help us fix this.

  • Sound -music plays thru headphones AND speakers at the same time.....

    I have MacBook Pro, in WIndows when I play a CD or an MP3 player, etc... I hear the sound through the headphones AND the speakers.. plugging in the headphones should mute the speakers automatically. It works just fine in the Mac OS, but Windows I cant figure out why... it runs on the SigmTel Audio. Any ideas anyone??? Am i missing some setting?
    Hope to hear from anyone soon.. any suggestions is appreciated!
    Thanks

    The sound card on the macbook has a combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack). So sound is being piped out both sound outputs in OSX and XP.
    The difference comes in because XP and the windows sound drivers for that card, do not know how to handle dual digital audio outputs and instead of shutting down the internal digital speakers(on our Macbook)when say your headphones are plugged in, windows just leaves both digital outputs open.
    To resolve this issue, contact Apple or the soundcard vendor to obtain a Windows XP driver that supports digital output on the dual-mode analog/digital capable sound card.
    To work around this issue, use analog speakers or headphones.
    Hope this Helps!

  • No sound with either headphones or internal speakers

    I have no sound suddenly, with Itunes or CDs. Nothing from the headphones or the internal speakers. Mute is not on and Internal Speakers is selected for use of internal speakers. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi Nancy-
    I have a 17" G4 1.5MHz aluminum PowerBook, 10.4.8, with no audio, too. Volume = max, System Prefs sound-in = internal mic, out = internal spkrs. Microphone shows no input. Connecting an iMic (w/external microphone) via USB causes sound-in pane to recognize the USB device, and both line-in and internal mic show a very regular pulse (about 1-2 per second) but no sign of any real audio from mic. Disconnecting the USB device, closing then reopening System Prefs sound pane, causes pulse to disappear.
    Tried all the usual suspects: Zap PRAM, reset PMU, different login, even tried the Garage Band classical piano trick (play a few notes, audio might return), but nothing worked.
    Machine was purchased in '04, well out of warranty. I found the sound board's flex cable had somehow popped loose; reseating that flex cable (next to hard drive) solved all audio issues since the sound card was essentially disconnected. (Taping it down might be a good idea.) Of course, this requires opening the machine.....
    Connector might have been jarred loose from rough handling, I dunno. Might be worth checking.
