The audio jack of my computer got damaged. What can I do?

[Aleister]

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, my brother damaged the frontal audio jack of my computer. He stumbled with it and the headphone jack bent inside... Since then, every time I plug in some headphones, I have to spend a couple of minutes playing with the cable until the sound comes from both sides. If by accident I move the cable a bit, it stops working and I have to do it again. Quite annoying, as you imagine.

I'm tired of this, is there any way to solve it? What can I do? I don't want to plug my headphones on the rear audio jack because for some reason the audio quality is worse...

Thank you

I can't know for sure without knowing some of your system specs, more specifically, your case and your motherboard, but I'm fairly sure you should be able to just buy this, or something similar that fits in your case.
