Solve : Speakers won't connect properly to computer's sound card through headphone jack?

Answer»

My speakers are connected to my COMPUTER's sound card through the headphone jack. Though the sound would occasionally drop out during the course of a session, tapping the chassis GENTLY would generally restore it. This is no longer the case. I can only hear through the computer's INTERNAL speakers. What can I do to restore the connection?  Sounds LIKE the soundboard got loose or the jack needs resoldering.
If you're on a tower, you should be OK to buy a cheap replacement sound card and plug your speakers into that in the back - that my first thought.  Otherwise if you are on a laptop, they do make a USB plug with a sound card built in - headphone and speaker jacks.
