1163814 2010-12-21 08:41:00 Any ideas if this can be done? At the moment, the audio jack is wired to my ASUS laptop which has a pair of external speakers. I am wondering if the internal speakers can be un-disabled for this setup.

Cheers :)

1163816 2010-12-21 09:41:00 the external speakers would be better anyway GameJunkie (72)
1163817 2010-12-21 10:49:00 There would probably be a built-in switch in the audio-out socket in the laptop to turn off the internal speakers, not something you can do anything about. :) feersumendjinn (64)
1163818 2010-12-21 11:12:00 Most of the time the headphone jack is one of the switchable types, and thus cuts off the internal speakers via hardware, so it would need some modifications to the circuit.

Not really difficult modifications, just in a laptop where everything is tiny and there's no room it could be hard..

1163819 2010-12-21 12:34:00 Why would you want both speakers to play anyway? The internal one would sound very garbage-y compared to the external, wouldn't it stand out more? qazwsxokmijn (102)
1163820 2010-12-23 05:18:00 The external speakers are actually built-in speakers in my secondary display. Right now, my laptop is placed next to the LCD monitor. I am hoping to play from both sets of speakers so that they appear to be in stereo. Renmoo (66)
