Not your typical sound only coming out of one speaker

I have a Toshiba satellite laptop, where everything seems to work. I also have some Yamaha speakers (2.1) for my desktop. Well now that I have a laptop, I want the sound of my speakers for music on my laptop. Sounds simple and should be simple.

When I plug the speakers into where my headphones go on the laptop, I am only getting sound out of one of the speakers.

Speakers plugged into the desktop, sound from both. Without external speakers on laptop, sound from both speakers on laptop. With headphones in laptop, sound from both earphones.

What's the deal? Thanks for anyone's help.

OS:Vista HP
Music Apps: Ares and WMP
 
That's a fun one.

So the speakers work, the cable from the speakers works, the laptop works and the desktop works.

All I can imagine is that the mini-jack on your headphones is slightly different (read longer) than the one on the speaker cable. Is the headphone socket recessed (even slightly) into the chassis of the laptop?

Thats all is can really be - I doubt the computer can be doing anything itself.
