How do I mute the laptop speakers while still getting sound out of my headphones in Windows 7? So even if I pull my headphones out, still no sound comes out of the speakers. As a laptop user, you know that most of the time we work in quite areas such as libraries or night flights. When you accidently pull the headphones jack out, your music blasts causing a lot of unnecessary disturbance.
In Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Sound, I have only one device: "Speakers/Headphone", so it is unclear how I could disable only the speakers.
