Laptop audio issue

I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or what.

My 3.5mm audio jack now is playing up and won't properly play audio through my speakers now. It will play but it will glitch at certain points and play a distorted noise through my laptop speakers. Also there is the buzz ever present now when the speakers are plugged into the laptop that is the same as the pin itself makes contact with your skin. The problem isn't on the speaker end either since it similar problems are appearing with 2 different headphones.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

PM'd you on skype what my thoughts are.

 

Maybe you need some kind of driver ? Also did you try googling ?

 

Sounds like your audio jack broke. They're extremely fragile unfortunately.

Reinstall sound drivers, but it sounds like your hardware may have gone for it.

Buy usb headphones if its the audio jack.

 

Was the audio jack - resolved by buying a $4 usb to mic dongle
