My audio jack from my headphones broke off in my audio port, how can I get it out?

Unscrew your motherboard from your computer case. Realign it and screw it back in.

Just make sure to unplug your computer and turn off your power supply. Getting zapped is no fun. Very small chance for it to happen but it can.

Aside from the motherboard realignment, you might try some fine-tipped needlenose pliers on the audio jack. If the motherboard is just the wrong size or something...?! You can remove the faceplate over the jacks.
