No audio output from headphone jack

    My external speakers work fine, are loud for a laptop, really.

    When I plug my headphones into the headphone jack (and yes, it's the right jack), there's no change, the audio continues from the external speakers.

    I had the motherboard replaced recently, as it went dead, by a Dell tech, so could he have put it back together incorrectly?

    Thanks for your help.

    It sounds like the headphone jack wasn't connected back to the motherboard, or perhaps the tech mixed up the mic/headphone jacks.
