Open up the case, drill a hole in the case to mount a little switch. solder the switch between the motherboard and teh speaker, and switch it off when you do not want the speaker to work. Of course you may well find this advice useless, but I hope it indicates the problems with your question. The speaker headphone is either controllable by software or it is not. In the latter case my suggestion is probably the only one. If it is ( eg if in some otehr OS you can play either one without the other) then what needs to be done is that driver under Linux be set up to do so. Now it is possible that Sony decided to change the specs of the intel chips, and decided that this change was top secret information which could not be released to anyone. that makes it really hard for Linux writers to use . gain there is very little you can do except phone, write, email, fax, picket Sony to get them to make the details public. Finally it may that there is some obscure option to the driver which will make it behave properly. Then you have done the only thing you could-- ask for help here. And if that is the case, hopefully someone who can be more helpful that I have been will answer ( the defening silence so far is not a good sign). > > Thanks, > > Francesco > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
