Hardware question
My tower has a front mic and headphone port, as well as a bunch of rear audio outs which I use for the speakers. The headphone port no longer registers that headphones are plugged in, but does still output sound. To get it to work, I have to insert the headphone and put some downward pressure on the connector, which causes the computer to recognise it (and I get that little popup telling me I have plugged something in). I then let go and it thinks I have disconnected it and gives me the other little pop-up, but still outputs sound.
It's functional, but mildly annoying. Any suggestions for how to fix it?

Basically unplug all cables, open up the machine and take a look. Then go from there.
