cupid2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 OK. it's possible with batch files and the original boot camp drivers. First: get yourself devcon.exe from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=311272 Second: get wait.exe: http://www.bjoernhenke.de/frame.htm?/wait/index.en.htm Make a folder under c:\ called macbook put wait.exe (from i386 folder) and devcon to c:\macbook make a new text file and insert this: ____ snip ____ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0015\Settings\GPIO] "00"=hex:85 "01"=hex:85 ____ snip ____ rename this new textfile to on.reg make a second text file and insert this: ____ snip ____ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0015\Settings\GPIO] "00"=hex:05 "01"=hex:85 ____ snip ____ rename this new textfile to off.reg make a new text file and insert this: ____ snip ____ @echo off regedit /S on.reg devcon restart HD* wait 2 ____ snip ____ rename this file to on.bat make a new text file and insert this: ____ snip ____ @echo off regedit /S off.reg devcon restart HD* wait 2 ____ snip ____ rename this file to off.bat now create two links to the desktop to on.bat and off.bat, rename them and choose other icons. Voila... If sound is running when you klick on either of the batches, the dos-windows tells you have to reboot (thats why i wait 2 seconds). Just turn Itunes, windows mediaplayer or whatever off, click again, and you have changed the setting as you desired. Have fun with your new "silence". if you have an iMac, you have to change the registry keys, just search for them with regedit and change the .reg files. Of course i recommend that you check the registry before you apply this hack, if the folders of the values are right.

pogo park Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 OK, I've tried this -- with the default MBP Boot Camp drivers -- to no avail. When I run the batch files, "on" works -- restarts successfully -- and "off" does not -- doesn't restart successfully. I opened regedit and watched the numbers change, so I think the reason is that the parameters set by your batch file are incompatible with my sound device. Anyone else having this problem or have any idea why the setting might be different?

mrmx Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 It works for me.. but what's the point? I thought it disabled internal speakers and not the headphones jack, but when I run it, it disables all audio. Is this the expected behavior? I'm using a MBP 15" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19996-howto-disable-and-enable-internal-speakers-on-macbook-with-a-click/#findComment-134775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupid2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Sorry, this does only work for Mac Book. Not for Macbook pro. It should disable only the internal speakers. The headphones will work.
