Creative ways to DISABLE internal speaker

[808?]

I find the best way to disable the internal speaker on my Mac mini is to plug in my headphones.

I have had my mini for a year and didn't even know it HAD a speaker.

I would also be interested in creative suggestions as to how I might inexpensively render the speaker permanently mute without pulling the whole device apart.

The quickest and most certain way of "rendering the speaker permanently mute" would be to disconnect the power cable and throw that out into the trash along with your headphones.

Here you go, I've figured this out. Follow these steps.

1) Buy the cheapest pair of headphones that you can find.
2) Plug the headphones into the mini so that the mini won't use the internal speakers.
3) Super glue the headphones in place.
4) Cut the cord so that the headphones themselves can't be used.

Too be fair, I'm usually more productive when I don't have internet. But having a video or music playing in the background certainly helps keep me sane...

Isn't there a kext that he could delete that'll disable the audio? Would be less permanent, but still not easily reversible.
