With that hint it does turn off the internal speakers but I can hear
nothing in my headphones. Turning the volume to 100% I can hear the
playback in my internal speakers at very low volume (with headphones
connected).
The headphones has no buzzing sound, that is only my external speakers and
they only act like that when connect to this laptop (kind of like the buzz
noise you get when the connector touches something (ground?))...
