Always post your specs when asking a question. I'm assuming a Gygabyte mobo. You never said if you checked the BIOS to see if the on board sound (azalia) got disabled.

I know you don't want to hear this, but make note of your settings and default the BIOS, try optimized defaults and then short the pins if that doesn't work. If you have AHCI enabled make sure you enable it before booting up. No guaranty, but it is worth a shot.
 
On the off chance that the jack has been physically damaged from the frequent plugging/unplugging, it may be worthwhile to attempt to connect a front panel jack to the mobo headers, configure the audio manager to use them, and try that.
