Front Headphone Port
I completed my 1st successful build today, but one thing bothers me. When I plug in headphones, I get audio on the headphones and on the speakers. Why would this happen?

How is that port connected to the soundcard? The make and model of the soundcard would help but there should be an applet that would allow you to shut off the speakers when a headphone jack is inserted.

I honestly consider that an advantage rather then a problem. On my first build the way it was configured the rear sound ports died when the front ports where connected so I could only have one or the other.
You should have a control somewhere to turn off one or the other in software. Until you find it, there is of course a simple work around. If you have powered speakers turn them off, If not, then turn them all the way down.

I have the same "problem". I also consider it a good thing. Need speakers? Unplug headphones, turn up speakers. Need headphones? Turn off speakers.

I'm using on-board intel high definition audio. I suppose most of you are right, it might be wired this way on purpose. Also, the port is green, so I think they expect you to use it for additional (temporary) speakers. Everything else on the front panel works, so I've gotta assume they just thought it would be nice this way. And i have the latest audio drivers, but I don't get control over how the ports behave. Just whether I want ports to be line in or line out, etc.

If it bugs you, you can mute the speaker output under volume control rather than having to unplug them.

Not if he can control headphone out and speaker out sepparately. (I thought I'd seen this on my computer, but it seems I have no such option, so I may be making this up completely :-)
