[QUOTE="corbintech, post: 1644833, member: 344004"] I would say they used something in the hole to put pressure of the metal that puts the pressure of the plug. If they did that, the plug would just fall out and possibly leave the inside of the plug with bent metal that may be making contact. That would cause the sound not to work because the jack would be sending a signal that the plug is in thanks to the short that was created. What I would do is get a very strong pin, turn the computer off (obviously) and place it in a position you can work on it. Being very gentle with the pin, light it well (may need another person) use the pin to straighten the metal back to where it was. This should work. This would not be a software issue. A headphone jack is very simple, either it is shorted when a plug is plugged in and disables the speakers, or it is not. That is most likely the problem you have, the jack is shorted and the computer thinks something is plugged in. [/QUOTE]
