Speakers work but headphones dont?

[Bdonner2006]

My speakers work fine but when I plug in my headphone it doesn't play on the
headphones but the speakers still play. It's like my headphone jack doesn't
pick up my headphones and i have tryed a few different headphones. Can any
body help?

Where is this 'headphone jack'?
This sounds like a hardware issue.

It is on the left side on my laptop between a mircophone jack and a computer
card entry port. Do you think the headphone jack in broken?

Speakers as in the ones in the laptop?

Or external ones?

Either that or your plugging the headphones into the jack for external
speakers.

Huh? This is a laptop...line out (~1V p-p) is all you're
gonna get...

Which laptop jack? You need to check with the laptop's manufacturer's
web site so as to see if there is a headphone jack, which port it is
and if the port is not Digital only.

So, you have a laptop with an audio power amplifier
(> 5W per channel) in it?

Link, please.

It's a Dell 600m, purchased nearly 4 years ago. Still pluggin' along,
stereo music blasting out of the speakers borrowed from the 4600 that I
bought at the same time, 24/7.

Well, I'll be darned. It's only 2W/ch. but they must be
routing the internal speaker audio out the 3.5mm jack instead
of intercepting the line level before it hits the PA as most
laptops do.

I would have thought nobody would do this in order to
save power.

Thanks for the link.
