Your problem is probably different from the one reported by oldhamtrader. He reported that his headphone icon was not always on, but switched on and off normally when plugging/unplugging the headphones. Your problem may be a caused by damage or foreign object in the headphone jack, and possibly a defective switch. You could try working the jack/switch with a headphone plug, to see if you can get the icon to change, and the speakers to work.
I visually examined the condition of the jack. It's clean and shows no damage. I guess I could blow some air into the jack, but how could a switch get thrown by itself?
I didn't have this issue until after I updated to Android 4.03. I was probably on Android v2 at that time. This may have happened around the time that Maps started showing up on the switchable apps along with Acer Media, without me invoking them.
