Audio socket is fecked on my pc, will a usb adaptor do the trick?. Headphone plug broke off in the socket, not a hope of getting it out...

surely with a needle nose plyers it could be pursuaded to come out?

It will work but surely you could try wheedling it out with a tweezers or something? If you can't you could always just replace the socket with a new one.

Hopeless, I tried that, it is not going to budge, it is bent in there, stuck solid.

It is an old pc in my work office, i am not too bothered about changing the socket as it has almost had its day anyway.

option 2 is t0 buy a cheap soundcard.... disable the onboard chip and use the soundcard instead

yeah it will work, just remember you have to change the default audio device to hear it

Put some super glue onto the end of the the plyers (or anything else long and thin), leave them pressed against the stuck headphone jack for a few seconds and then pull it out. Has worked wonders for me in the past.
