Do you have this problem? I have a 7100AV, with the headphone jack
in the back. I also have a blaster with a CD input. Its nice to
be able to use the blaster for hi-fi sound output, but I also
like to use my blaster for music while I work.
The problem is that the Mac also tries to behave like a stereo,
in that it mutes the speaker when you plug a jack into the
headphone output. The good news is that this behavior on the Mac
is done in _software_. Instead of crawling around to the back of
the machine and unplugging the headphone jack, you can open the
sound control panel, and uncheck the "Mute" checkbox for the
Built-in sound output driver. Of course having to open the sound
control panel whenever you reboot is almost as much of a pain as
physically unplugging the jack.
Unmute-it is a simple application program that sets the mute value
"off" for the internal speaker, allowing sound to be played through
the internal speaker, even when the headphone jack is in use. Also
included in this package is an init that you can place in your
extensions folder to unmute the speaker on reboot.

Now if can only figure out how to get my restart *bong*... :-\
History:
0.2 - added system extension due to popular demand.
0.1 - initial release.
Compatability:
Tested only on PM7100AV with sound manager 3.1. I encourage all
users to please email me with (in)compatibility issues.
SoundManager 3.0 or better is (and always will be) required.
Suggested usage:
Option 1 - as above, use your stereo for music _and_ mac sound.
Option 2 - Run a wire from your mac to the mac in the next cubicle,
so you can both listen to music without having volume wars.
Option 3 - you tell me.
Legal:
Unmute-it version 0.2.
