I got another problem on my laptop. My speaker and my headphone jack got

What happen actually? Sensing problem?

What you have here isn't a software problem, it's a hardware problem. If
the problem were in software, we'd have reports of this problem affecting
all manner of laptop computers. The 3,5mm audio jack is a standard
component, and the way it knows to switch off the speakers is a tiny
microswitch at the back of the jack that is pressured by the end of the
audio plug.

I suggest you have a techie look at it, esp. if the problem is not
reproducible on a computer of similar configuration (which I guess the ML
will tell you).

Good Luck.
