An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method for controlling software in an electronic system having a plurality of applications and an insertable peripheral device. In one embodiment of the present invention, an indication is received from a headphone jack regarding the insertion state of an audio plug. In response to the indication, a software application resident on said electronic system is automatically notified of the insertion state.
