Headphones and external speakers work ok.
In most of the cases I've run across, the problem was bad/dirty
contact and/or metal fatigue in the headphone/speaker jack. IOW, the
springy thingy wasn't closing the contact correctly when nothing was
plugged into it - leaving the internal speakers disconnected. You
can test this by cleaning it then using a screwdriver to push the
thingy closed.
Yea, I know... "springy thingy" isn't a great description. But I
don't know what it's called. :) Hopefully you get the idea... it
gets pushed away from the speaker contact when you insert a plug into
the jack.
