How To Disable Laptop Speakers But Not Headphones?

Today we’re going to talk about how to disable laptop speakers but not headphones! There are a lot of situations where you might want to mute your laptop’s speakers, but still, use the built-in microphone. For example, if you’re giving a presentation and want to show slides on your computer screen while talking over it at the same time. This article will give you some quick and easy ways that work for most laptops with both Windows and macOS.

Step One: Open System Preferences on your Mac.

– For Windows users, open the Control Panel > Sound and click the “Playback” tab on the bottom left of the screen. Select “Show Disabled Speakers.” This will allow you to still hear sound from laptop speakers, but not be able to use them as an output device for audio playback.

– For macOS users who are using a MacBook Pro (late 2016 or 2017) or newer with Touch Bar that supports Hey Siri, just say “Hey Siri” followed by “Mute Speaker” and it should mute both the built-in microphone and speaker simultaneously without interrupting your presentation!

Step Two: Press Ctrl+Shift+(Fn)+Left Arrow Key

– For Windows users, press Ctrl+Shift+(Fn)+Left Arrow Key to disable both speakers.

Step Three: If there is no sound coming from laptop speakers but they can still be seen as an output device for audio playback on the computer settings panel > Sound tab then you need to do this last step.

We recommend restarting the machine if all steps have been completed successfully so far. Here’s how – Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete on your keyboard to open the task manager. Select “File” and then select Shutdown or Sign Out from the drop-down menu at the top left corner of the screen.

Step Four: To disable laptop speakers but not headphones, make sure that they are plugged in via an audio jack before proceeding with any of these steps. If there is still no sound coming from laptop speakers after disabling them by pressing Fn+Left Arrow Key for Windows users or just using Hey Siri if you have MacBook Pro (late 2016 – 2017) or newer with Touch Bar, plugging in a pair of headphones should solve this problem!

Step Five: This last step will allow you to control how much volume comes out through certain outputs of the laptop. Click on “Sound” in your menu bar, then select “System Preferences.”

How Do I Toggle Between Headphones And Speakers?

Step One: Headphones come with a cord that can be plugged into your laptop by inserting the headphone jack in the audio port on either side of your computer. This will allow you to listen to music, watch videos and browse through social media sites without disturbing other people around you. When using headphones, make sure they are not being used as speakers!

Step Two: If an external speaker is plugged into your device’s auxiliary input cable or USB-C connection, sound from both sources (headset and external speaker) will be played simultaneously when one of them starts playing any type of content. To switch between these two devices for playback controls use the “Show Playback Devices” menu bar option found under “Sound”. The order in the devices are listed in this menu, top to bottom is the same as how they will play content.

Step Three: If you want your laptop’s speakers disabled but still have it connected to external speakers for playback control follow these steps! First, connect and then disconnect a set of headphones from your computer. This should disable sound from coming out of any external ports on your machine (including the headphone jack). Disconnecting an external speaker or plugging in a new one after disabling laptop speakers can be done by following step two found above.

– You can now enjoy listening to music without disturbing others around you while working at home or using public transportation such as planes and trains!

Disconnecting an external speaker or plugging in a new one after enabling laptop speakers can be done by following step two found above.

– You can now hear notifications and audio feedback while using public transportation such as planes and trains without disturbing others around you while working at home!

How Do I Switch From Headphones To Headphones Without Unplugging?

Step One: From the menu bar, select “System Preferences” then click “Sound”.

– In the left pane of sound preferences, you should see a button titled “Input”. Click this and notice that there are two choices available to you for input devices: Internal Microphone and Built-in Input (or Headphones). Select your preferred option.

Step Two: You will now be able to hear what is happening on your computer without having any external plugs in it!

To switch back from headphones to speakers, follow the same process but instead choose output as Speakers or Surround Sound if desired.

When I Plug In Headphones The Speakers Play Chromebook?

There are two possible solutions to this problem.

The first solution is, go into your “system preferences” and click on “sound”. Then select the input button in the left pane of sound preferences – there should be a choice for either Internal Microphone or Built-in Input (or Headphones). Select whichever one you want.

This will set how all audio comes out from your computer through that specific device. Notice how if you have both headphones plugged in, but still keep choosing a built-in microphone as an option while clicking on it, then when you unplug your headphones everything would revert back to normal speakers mode?

The second solution is more extreme: just disable any other devices connected with USB ports by going into system preferences, clicking on “ports” and then selecting the “USB” tab. From there you can uncheck any devices that are connected in order to block them from sending audio out of your computer (make sure if it is a device like an external hard drive that has data stored on it).
