You’d have to get up pretty early in the morning to put one over the system management software that comes with the Acer Aspire 9300.
A jack has been plugged in!
A jack has been unplugged!
Do you think I don’t realise already? Who’s the one doing the plugging and unplugging?
An important usability principle is to conserve the user’s attention. Let them focus on what matters most. Emphasise the main event, quieten the minor details and remove everything that simply doesn’t need to be shown.
For pity’s sake, don’t pop up a balloon just because I’ve plugged my headphones in.
Happens on my Fujitsu Siemens as well.
I have been searching for a while now trying to find a way to stop the madne…. ahem…. disable it.
It seems to be the “Realtek HD Audio Manager” purpose in life to take away your attention from what you were doing.
How do you make it shut up?
Thanks,

it is in the [i]i[/i] (information) down the bottom right in audio manager if you right click on the orange speaker in your task bar. at the bottom of the pop up window there is an option to “show information in icon bar” or something like that. click it. that will disable it. the annoying pop up shall never annoy you again.
For my EeePC the option about icon bar information wasn’t there (according to my search I wasn’t the only one). Anyway… the solution was to turn the system tray icon completely off completely… you can do it in the Realtek control panel, by clicking the small “i” button in the lower left corner (you can turn it off in the small window that pops up. Finally that idiotic thing is turned off :) (I would really like to know who was that smartie who invented it :)
btw, if you ever need that control panel again, you can find it in the windows control panel
