Automatically mute speakers when headphones are unplugged

audioheadphones

I was wondering if there is a "software" solution to automatically mute the laptop speakers when the headphones are "unplugged"?

OS : Windows XP SP3
Laptop : Dell Vostro 1510
Audio Drivers : RealTek

Please provide software solutions only. I don't want to buy any additional hardware to achieve this.

Best Answer

Try uninstalling your Vostro audio drivers and installing the generic Microsoft drivers. Microsoft's driver allows you to create multiple "audio profiles" which let you have different sound configurations depending on what audio devices are plugged in. You may also want to check if your current audio driver supports this feature first before making any changes.
