Solved! Only Hear Sound On the Right Side (Headphones)

[jvogs]

My computer recently fell on its side while I had headphones plugged in, and now when I re-plugged them in (all the way in) you can only hear from the right side, no sound on the left. When you unplug a bit, it switches to only hearing left. And then when you unplug until it's pretty loose, you can hear both sides. You can see that the headphone jack ring is a bit out of position compared to the mic jack. Is this issue solvable or not?

I'm assuming you tried another headphone or earbuds to eliminate the headphones that were plugged in as being at fault. That being said, here's a cheap solution if you have an unoccupied drive bay, with extra USB 3.0 ports. I'm sure you may be able to find other versions if needed.
