Alsa has an error with some sound cards which means the headphone jack sense option is missing.

The result of this error is sound playing through both headphones and speakers at the same time (sound isn't muted for speakers).

Simply add:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=z71v position_fix=1
to
Code:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Restart the computer.

For example if the drive in question was sde1 and you wanted to change it to 1%:
Code:
sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sde1
2% would be:
Code:
sudo tune2fs -m
