Hardware Any way to disable the speakers {not just turning volume off}

That doesn't sound creepy at all.
Basically, disassemble the 3DS, disconnect the speakers. With the right tools and the right disassembly guide that should be a matter of 15 minutes
It's not possible to disable them without unsoldering the speakers from the system (which I wouldn't recommend).
However, it's possible to kill the volume switch from software which lasts a reboot or a non-sleepmode (the mcu sysmodule initializes registers when it starts, and some registers also get rewritten each time you exit sleep mode). I'm not sure about DS/DSi mode, but in 3DS mode you can disable the volume slider.

A software *only* for this purpose doesn't exist, but I have an MCU test tool which you could carefully use to disable volume each reboot. I don't know if I have it uploaded anywhere.
Don't touch any other regsters otherwise you could damage some hardware.
Using DPAD UP/DOWN (holding R will go in increments of 10h) go to register 58h and 59h, and write FFh to both of them using B. You can use DPAD LEFT/RIGHT to change the value (if you subtract one from 00h it'll wrap back to FFh).
To restore the volume capabilities just reboot the 3DS.

I just remembered that this thread existed. I have finally created a patch a month ago which fully disables the speaker in 3DS mode (doesn't even cause a speaker pop to happen).
This patch works from 9.2.0 all the way up to the latest version (at the time of writing).
Steps for Luma:
- power off your 3DS
- while holding SELECT, turn on your 3DS
- in the Luma config, enable FIRM loading and game patching, and press START to save the settings
- create a folder on your SD: /luma/titles/0004013000001802/ (that is, 0004 - 0130 - 0000 - 1802, for easier readability)
- create code.ips, and fill it up with the contents listed below, using a hex editor (CTRX works if you start with a non-empty file, or HxD on Windows)
- reboot your 3DS, and now the speaker won't function anymore, and the speaker pop is also gone now

WARNING! Make sure you have a way to rename code.ips in case the patch keeps crashing your 3DS on boot!

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though. -

although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)

@BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.

If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.

and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced

ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
