That's encouraging, at least it isn't entirely broken! I don't have Windows installed anymore, but there is a feature of the Windows driver that is worth investigating. There's that Connextant sound options application, which lets you determine how the headphone switch is used. It's possible to configure the system to use both speakers and minijack stereo out. Because this headphone jack sensing is handled in software, you should poke around in that connextant applet: try disabling and re-enabling the settings pertaining to those features.
This isn't exactly scientific, but I think there's good reason to consider this. Similar issues sometimes happen with WiFi chipsets, where a user reports that WiFi does not work in Windows after having booted Linux. This occurs because the driver loads some firmware/microcode or whatever. A hard reobot of the computer (ie. The computer and chip no longer recieve power) as opposed to a soft reboot (reboot from software) will generally solve these problems. I bet this is just an issue with the headphone jack sensing, or your speakers are blown.
