Chrome	Ran into a bit of a problem, if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. When I put my earphones into my laptop they don't work properly. I have to either squeeze them or keep moving it to a certain spot for the audio to be clear, otherwise it comes out muffled. I feel like it's slowly getting worse and worse. The speakers work just fine, but sometimes I need to use earphones when it's late and people are sleeping. I suspect it's just breaking down, but I thought I'd post here for second opinions. BTW, my earphones are fine, I tried them on my phone and they work perfectly well, and I've tried other earphones in my laptop and the same problem persists.

I've done failure analysis (at work) on headphone jacks before. I can tell you that the #1 and #2 reason the jack quits on you is that the jack is either too loose, or the connection pins are bent inward. We get to XRAY the jack and found that most of the time the connection pins are messed up from over use. Analog headphone jacks rarely fail unless there is a mechanical problem with the contact points. The circuit is mostly a passive piece until it hits the audio chip. If you use digital jack, i'd tell you something different. You can't really fix this. These jacks wear down over time, which is why Apple and Samsung pay big money on a particular vendor to have a reliable jack. Except, Apple contracts a s*ty company to make jack simulators and then gives these simulation hubs to my company which has to struggle with that s*. (besides the point) Your work around: For cheap Reliable quality
