I'm using a Sony Vaio laptop, and when I plug in headphones to the jack I still hear sound through the laptop speakers. I had this same problem on Knoppix and couldn't figure it out.
I've looked around in control center, but there doesn't seem to be any settings that I could change.
Does this happen with Windows? I don't think this is a OS problem more than it is a hardware problem.

Typed it in, said alsa set to default. I ran alsamixer, headphones are set to 00 and I'm still unable to adjust them. I can adjust all the other bars. Pretty bizarre!

Lots of posts about the Sony Viao laptops as well, where in Ubuntu and FC, there was the same problem. They ran the alsa-control script to restart the card and everything worked after that. Unfortunately Slax doesn't have the alsa-control script, thats why I said to use the
amixer -q set "Headphone" on

Anyway, I found this forum with a guy who had a similar problem. He fixed it by updating his distro:
Well I found somewhat of a solution. In alsamixer I used "m" to mute the front output. The headphones still say they are set to 00, but I can hear sound out of them, but not the laptop speakers. I'm happy! :)
nothing's being done about this - I got the impression - that'a sad
Well now there are the Slax-Remix versions, they contain a recent kernel more hardware is supported, so there is a good chance that your problem is solved bye using Slax-Remix.
