I think it's possible, you will need an external USB or pcmcia soundcard.
depending on what you want to hear you can adjust the settings of the software that will be outputting the sound
but laptops built in speakers are usually very crappy. I don't see why you want to use them (together with external speakers).

That all depends on the hardware configuration of the laptop. Some will let you, some won't. Most will turn the internals off when externals are used.

No... BIOS does not change anything physically. I'm talking about the actual wiring and routing.

you can probably just do it through the control panel, under the sound, speech, and audio. I know my headphones have sound, but if i turn my speakers on, they work also, along with the headphones. It just happened that way though.
