sound comes from both built in speakers and external speakers

[masglobal]

Anyone figure out how to disable internal speakers when external speakers are plugged in?

I have literally searched everywhere and it seems others are having this problem also but no one has found a fix.

All of my windows PC's have always turned off the internal speakers once you plug in expernal speakers to the audio jack on the side. With the latest Windows 10 update it now always plays out of both.

Hi @masglobal,

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips!

As I understand both headphone and laptop speakers play the media at the same time,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you attempt to reinstall and/or update the Audio drivers from the HP website?

Have you updated the BIOS?

(Click here to find and install if you haven't done it yet)

While you do that, here's a few steps that should resolve this issue:

Check the 'Disable front panel jack detection' option: 

1. Double-click on the Realtek HD Audio manager system tray icon 

2. Click on small folder icon  

3. Check that the 'Disable front panel jack detection' tick box is unticked. 

4. Now insert the jack plug of either a microphone or headphones into the corresponding front panel socket of your computer. 

5. If you now see the message 'Information: A jack has been plugged in', then you do not need to change this setting as your system has an HDA compatible front panel. 

6. If you do not see this message, then click on the small folder icon again and tick the 'Disable front panel jack detection' check box. 

If any of the above options are unavailable, install the latest drivers for you audio adapter and then try again: Click here for drivers 

Keep me posted,
