[SOLVED] How do I turn off/disconnect the built-in speakers on a monitor?

Only noticed this in Linux Mint; I don't use them ever, and they "pop" loudly sometimes when I leave a site that has audio, even if the audio is also turned off.

It's an Asus VG248 (not a very good display - the reviews lied, btw) and I've had no luck finding an answer.

probably I would configure a different audio channel. Or probably I would plug in an audio jack [which is not connected].
Probably there is a menu option to set the volume.

Thank you! Audio jack - great idea, and elegantly simple.

Tried it, led me to discover it's a Mint issue. I just replaced Manjaro with Mint, so I guess I should have figured it out right away.
