headphone jack problem

[Weird Bread Kid]

i'm face palming so hard rn u dont even know. so i was walking past my pc right, and i tripped over my headphone cable and it came out of my pc. now whenever i try to put in anything the headphone jack it wont click like it normally does, it literally slides out.

It sounds like either the socket or jack is broken. Is the jack still in one piece and complete? do the headphones still work with other devices?

 

Short term i'd guess you've got a rear port to use instead.

 

Long term you could probably find a replacement front port board from the manufacturer to replace, shouldn't be too expensive or difficult.

You probably broke the "locking mechanism" (if you can call it that) of your jack. Do you have any performance issues (hissing or buzzing)?

I had this problem too.Restart your pc and try turning the headphone jack in 360 degrees until you find a point that works
