My headphone jack is completely busted...even when phones are plugged in, the laptop speakers still emit sound, which is very annoying. I never use the speakers.

Is there a way to completely turn them off aside from taking apart the laptop and unwiring them?

All that does is kill all sound and I can hear nothing through the headphones.

EDIT: The volume control panel does have an option for controlling volume of PC speakers (even muting them)...however muting them does nothing and moving the volume slider does not affect anything either.

I think you are misunderstanding my question. Having no problems with microphone jack.

The PC speaker is the tiny speaker on motherboards for error beep codes and other system related sounds, it's not for the speakers on your laptop. If your laptop has a line-out, try using that, and muting everything else. If there isn't an option in your laptop software to mute speakers when the headphones are plugged in, then you are pretty much stuck with what you have.
