Hi
Any damage to the plug from the socket would be obvious on inspection.
It is more likely that it is internal damage to the cable where it enters the plug that is causing the problems.
Is the cable being pulled or does it enter the plug at a tight angle ?
Probably the best way to fix this would be to get a short extension cable so you are plugging your headphones into this instead of directly into the PC and this is a lot cheaper to replace.
it doesn't enter at a tight angle and it get's pulled out of the socket only on rare occasions...
I'll try to find an extension and see how it works out.. Thanks
