I am using Lenovo 3000 G430.

I can hear sound from laptop's default speakers when my headphone is connected. And also I can hear sound from the headphone at the same time. Either one of them should work at a time. I had tried some possible troubleshoot in device manager and control panel but no use.

Sounds like the jack is not properly sensing that the headphones are inserted. This is a mechanical issue and not software in most cases.

If the headphones work and the speakers work at the same time, you are going to most likely have to have the case opened and the jack itself cehcked/replaced.

One is cheap and nasty and SHORT in its length

The other is more expensive and is a longer length.

The difference in length is minimal - about 2 or 3 millimetres.

However those 3 mm make all the difference because they either connect at the correct places inside the socket or they don't.

When they don't, you'll get the problem you're getting at present. ;)
