Plug the speakers into the microphone input (red socket) - It will look like they're plugged in but won't work.
Alternatively, disable the sound card in Device Manager.

That's a pretty good idea, but what if his sibling looks to make sure it is plugged in and sees it is in the pink plug instead of the green?

It all depends on the skill level of the sibling - And if the sockets are the type where you can see the colours when the cable is plugged in. Probably worth a try though.

Yeah worth a try. Especially if the plugs are in the back...

Just hide the speakers. Put them someplace where they won't find them.

Un-plug them, wrap the jacks in cling-film, then plug them back in.
