The iMac G3 models were designed in such a way that insertion of headphone or external speaker jacks into one of the ports automatically kills sound out on the internal speakers. However, if one of those ports has been damaged, that feature may not work properly. In your case, try plugging in your external speakers. If the scratchy internal speakers go dead, you’re golden. If not, the sure fix is to physically disconnect the two internal speakers, either by disconnecting them at the connectors at the speakers, or by clipping the wires coming out of the speakers. Enjoy!
