Speakers and headphones?

My new laptop is doing well.  I ran into an issue tonight when I first
tried out the headphones.  I am having difficulty creating a search
string to hit what I need to find out.

When I plug in the headphones, the built-in speakers are not muted.
(Huh?)  That is less than optimal.  I don't know if I should blame the
hardware or some sort of driver issue.  Have any of you experienced such
a thing?  If so, what did you do about it?

(Rambling additional info for anyone not sleeping well tonight...)

Presently ALSA (via kmixer or alsamixer) presents me with only three
sliders: Output Master, Output PCM and Input Capture.  Not much control
there.  alsaconf finds "ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)"
and uses the "hda-intel" driver.  All very nice and working well.

A quick first-time check of the microphone recording comes up static but
I'll leave that issue for a different day.
