Goo, you guys make it all so complicated.
I disable my PC's speaker very simply. I plug in the headphones. If I don't want any sound I turn down the volume on the headphones.
Perhaps your machine is different, that plugging in headphones doesn't disable speaker.
That works for laptops, not desktops.
The advantage is that if I *do* want to listen to something, a podcast perhaps, I just use the headphone. I don't disturb anyone.
Yes, but... I only place the headphones on my head when I want to listen to something. When I expect a sound. Beeps are unexpected.
On my laptop (and probably most modern laptops) the old-fashioned "PC speaker" is not a physical piece of hardware on the motherboard: it is purely virtual, and its audio is piped through the main speakers/headphone jack/audio channel *regardless of system volume*. So If you followed your normal routine with my hardware, one day when you were wearing your headphones with the volume down low or muted, you would accidentally hit the backspace, up, or left arrow key in a GTK text view and there would be an incredibly loud angry jarring beep right your eardrum at max volume.
Yes, exactly. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
