Title: How can I remove a jack pin? Post by: Flashheart on Friday, April 17, 2015, 20:28:53 The jack pin for my mic has somehow snapped off inside the plug. I can no longer plug any mic into my PC because the last jack is still in there and I can't get it out.
Any tips on how to get the fucker out? Or alternative solutions? Thanks, in advance. Title: Re: How can I remove a jack pin?

Title: Re: How can I remove a jack pin? Post by: Flashheart on Friday, April 17, 2015, 20:41:42 Fair shout Reg.
But I can see how giving my PC an enormous smack could be a tad risky. Title: Re: How can I remove a jack pin? Post by: jonny72 on Friday, April 17, 2015, 20:45:17 Drill in to it with a really small drill bit. Or solder / super glue something to it.
Or get a new sound card. Title: Re: How can I remove a jack pin? Post by: Flashheart on Friday, April 17, 2015, 20:47:15 Will super glue be 'super' enough to pull it out?
I don't have a separate sound card, it's part of my GPU. Title: Re: How can I remove a jack pin? Post by: jonny72 on Friday, April 17, 2015, 22:48:11 Not sure about the super glue, might work, might not. Drilling with a small drill bit and pulling it out is probably the better option. Check the socket from the inside as well, unlikely but might be a way to push it out.
Doesn't matter if it's an onboard sound card, you can still add another provided you have a free card slot. It will show up as a separate device then you just need to select the relevant input/output's on the new card to use them instead. Title: Re: How can I remove a jack pin?
