Hmmm.. the output socket seems to be the problem... If that is the issue there is not simple solution. I suppose that you use your motherboard output socket to get the sound out. The only easy solution would be external sound card/dac... There are some metal snippets in the sockets that has been damaged/loosened and it will be cheaper to buy new motherboard than fix that socket. You may try to make your plug a little bit thicker by using some plastic ring in the upper end of your plug, but not sure is it will keep the plug in the right place like the internal metal holders that are inside the socket.
