Headphone working and speakers not suggests either the speakers are not connected or that the wrong device is being used. It could have more than one sound device, HDMI vs analog etc. I would look at the sound settings either by going to the speaker icon in the notification area and choose Sound Settings. Or you can go to the System Settings to find the same thing (top item in the shutdown menu). Some sound boards have more than output due to the different uses computers now have and the different types of monitors.
