If you stare directly into it for a long time, it'll go off.

As far as I know, there isn't any way to turn it off.

EDIT:

The Digital Audio (S/PDIF) output LED is always on when running Windows XP. How do I turn it off?

The Digital Audio output can be manually disabled by opening the SigmaTel control panel and deselecting the Enable Digital Output checkbox in the Advanced tab.

You could uninstall the drivers for audio possibly, But you probably would lose sound. possibly.

I shined it into my sleeping girlfriends eye.......... she didn't think it was funny, AND, it did't go off!

Ok, now the headphone jack doesn't work for vista only. Help?

You have to install the latest audio drivers. You can get them here (choose the 1st option, HD audio codecs).
