Sound plays thru both my speakers and my headphones

[rustolium]

I have a HP Pavilion G7 laptop with widows 8. Sound plays thru the onboard speakers even when I plug in headphones. How do I stop sound from coming out the onboard speakers. I only want sound thru the headphones when they are pugged in.

Hi, should find the option to configure and also disable laptop speakers in the audio play back device menu.

I have gone thru the playback menu and there are no options to disable the laptop speakers that I can find. It lists the Speakers/Headphones as one device. I am not sure if this is an issue with the laptop, the IDT audio drivers, or windows 8( though I find I am not much of a fan of Win 8). Not to sound like too much of an idiot, but if anyone has step by step instructions on how to disable only the laptop speakers that would be much appreciated. in my experience plugging in headphones automatically does this.

ok you're right, it should change to headphones by default and disable speakers mentioned here page 10 chapter 2.

Have you tried setting the speakers/headphones to default source? it may enable the headphone priority function. Just wondering it may not be and is just set to being ready.
