So I had my headphones plugged into my pc and I caught my leg on the wire as I was walking and ripped the jack out of the computer. Basically what had happened is that the USB jack cover, the metal bit you plug into the USB slot has come off and revealed the 4 pins, one of the pins snapped off and is now stuck inside the cover. I couldn't pull it out so I just left it in there and I put the other 3 pins in through the holes in the cover and pushed it back into the USB jack and somehow got it to stick but it's very wobbly. I plugged it into the pc and my headphones seem to work.
I need to know 2 things if possible.
1. Why are my headphones still working even though one of the 4 pins snapped? Not sure what the 4th pin should be for. Very confused.
2. Any idea how I can somehow attach the cover back onto the USB jack without it being wobbly or coming off when I pull it out of a tight USB slot?
Thanks
For reference, my headphones are the 7.1 Razer Krakens.
