Why aren't my headphones working in my laptop?

I plugged them in & they didn't work. So I tested them through the control panel (sounds folder), it said they were working correctly. I retested them with a youtube music video and they are still not working. The sound is playing through my speakers on my laptop, not through the headphones. My fiance has the same laptop (just a different color) and they work fine in hers. Can someone help with whats going on?

Update:

I would say it needed repaired, but when I use the control panel & test it I can hear it through the headphones, which means they are working and the port thing isn't broken.

    My brothers computer did the same thing. You will probably have to take the laptop someplace to get it repaired. It shouldn't cost a ton.

    NCIS beat me to it, & makes sense. I've never used mine with my

    PC so I'm not familiar with this problem, sorry.
