Using headphones on the microphone jack plug?

[klimentce]

So when i was getting the headphone jack out of the jack, i pulled too hard and the 3,5mm jack got stuck inside the plug. Is it possible to use headphones on the microphone jack plug?

You can buy a 3.5 mm cable, cut the wires and solder the jack.

No you cannot use the microphone jack to get audio on your headphones. That will require wires on your mobo to be rewired which is not quite realistic or convenient. Buy a new jack and solder your headphones.

If you can't remove the old connector from the motherboard port, use the front audio port (if you have one) or a USB to stereo connector like this one:

MERGED QUESTION
Question from klimentce : "Using headphones in the microphone jack plug instead of the headphone one?"

So when i was taking out my headphones out of the laptop, i may of pulled them too hard and so the 3,5mm got stuck inside the plug, is there any way i can use my headphones in the microphone plug?

Did it break off in there?

I don't think you can do that just by the nature of the jack. Headphones is output and microphone is input. If it would work for both it would be labeled such.

Yes it did. The front piece of the 3,5 mm jack is broken and is inside the jack plug.

try small metal pick to pull it out or a magnetic.
if not can use usb headphones.

Install realtek audio manager, then connect earphones to mic jack, after that select the front speaker out in the realtek application when the window of realtek pops up! there you go, it's done! the sound maybe low but it works!
