I tried googling the issue and the solution was said try resetting the PVRAM or something (CMD+OPTION+P+R when rebooting). However, when I unplug the headphones the headphone jack has a red light coming out. I'm not bothered by this much as by this time I'm used to my bluetooth headphones. When I plug in headphones the sound works and Im able to adjust the volume etc etc. Probably some stuff is still there and prevents a proper contact with the jack. I still get no sound through the actual headphones since when the jack is in, the socket lights up the red light. When I take it out my built-in speakers go on. My built-in speakers went on just fine.Įventually I was able to insert the jack all the way into the socket. As I was doing that I eventually reached deeper and at some point it got unstuck. It looks like pieces of what might have been the actual lens glass or some kind of intermediary glass.Īnyway, I inserted a toothpick in the socket and tried to get all this crunchy stuff out. I'm pretty sure it's not some kind of a candy as it is not sweet at all :). I shook it and this is what came out of the socket. Not long after I heard some crunching sounds of what I think might've been the lens. What I did eventually was pushing a jack in there really hard while twirling it a little. The red light kept coming out through the lens at bottom of the socket and it was clear there is nothing stuck in there. I tried a lot of different advices trying to clean a supposedly stuck pin in the socket but to no avail. As soon as I got the jack out though the socket started glowing red and the built-in speakers became off. While figuring it out I was able to put the jack briefly in a position where the headphones would play audio.

I wasn't able to do that as the jack was not going in to its full length, just like on the OP's picture above. The built-in speakers initially were working fine up to the point when I decided to stick my headphones in the socket. I had the same issue on my MacBook Pro 15" 2015 for a long time.
