AFAIK the audio driver has nothing to do with it.  If plugging in an
external speaker doesn't do it for you, the easiest thing is probably to
go in and just disconnect the internal speaker.  It should just be
connected by a removable plug (berg strip or like...), so it shouldn't
require any melting of metals or such.

BTW - how is the audio on an SS5 working for you?  Under 1.4.2 I know it
had several issues, but I haven't experimented under 1.5 yet.  Any
issues?  Working well?

Take care,
