Before going to any shops, here is a suggestion that can't hurt anything.
Go to the Control Panel and click on Sounds and Audio Devices. On the Volume tab at the bottom, you will see "Speaker Settings". Click on the Advanced button. Change that setting to "Stereo headphones". You should hear the sound only through the headphones then.

you may want to try and reinstall the driver from the manufacturers website. I had to do that with a brand new notebook as the speakers didn't work when first turned on. I'll see if I can locate a link and post again if I find it.

The problem is not a software/driver issue.
It's the actual socket, inside is a small switch, when you insert the headphones, the switch should turn off the main speakers. If it is bent or broken they stay connected. A new socket is the only solution as they are too small ti fix.
Testimonial: "Thank you. I did re-install the driver. If it occurs again..will do a format and socket. Again, thank you! "

Hello,
Hello,
It is because that your internal speaker is the default play back device other than your head phone or external speaker.
Need to go to your sound setting.
Depend on your operating system, click Start, then click Control panel, then click Hardware and Sound, click Sound.
Under Playback tab, select your external speaker or head phones as default device.

Seems like a common issue with A505's. After a fruitless google search I basically went to speaker balance (which I had to google how to for win7!) and increased level to max for both left and rights and so far so good. Hope that helps.

The reason why I had reloaded the latest driver is that I wasn't getting any sound at all. I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that before.
So, in summary...
1. My laptop was fine until I lost the sound the other day.
2. I loaded the latest audio driver and everything seemed fine until I plugged my headset in while it was playing. When it was working properly before, that would cut my speakers off, and supply audio to my headphones. It doesn't do that now. When I plug in the headphones, the speakers keep playing, and I have to go in and change the settings so that it will play out of the headphones. Then I have to change the setting back if I want the speakers. It's just a bother to do, when it was working fine before.
If I go back and restore before loading in the drivers, as you suggested, wouldn't I end up with the problem I started with?
Thanks for your assistance.
