When headphones are plugged in, the speaker does not get muted automatically.

[zongo saiba]

The TOSHIBA Satelite T110 have the exact same flow. The only difference is
that I can adjust the volume with the control on the headset and it actually
works. Otherwise, the internal speakers are not muted and cannot be muted.
The headset is not recognized by the system plugged in the jack. I can
confirm that with my USB plantronics headset the issue is not there. The
Headset is seen in the sound preferences and I have to switch to them in
order for the internal speakers to be muted . The micro works well.
