I have a hardware issue with my HP ENVY All-in-one B200 Computer.
When I plug speakers into the audio jack, there are popping noises, some times I have to unplug and replug in. To get it to work, I have to push the audio cable upwards in the slot.
Are you able to repair such issues?
We bought multiple speakers to make sure it wasn't the speaker. It is the computer

You need to find out if the problem is the motherboard jack or the cable plugged into it. Please try another set of speakers or headphones and see if the problem goes away.
Does your system have built in speakers? Do they make the same popping noise?
If jack there is not much you can do to fix it other than unsoldering and replacing the jack. It will not be cheap. I will be far cheaper to get a USB to audio adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776QNHKD
You mentioned speakers. If powered speakers they need to plug into the line-out jack. If un-powered then into the regular green speakers jack. If you are using a headset be aware that there are differences in connectors if the headset is apple, android or just windows pc. Same applies for headphones (no mic)
[edit] You have combo headset / microphonejack
you need a headset not speakers, since the jack mentions microphone
what are you using? Did it come with the system?
Post a link to the device if on amazon or the internet somewhere

you might want to try cleaning the motherboard jack using a cleaner made for this, simply spray into the audio jack hole a small amount of cleaner then insert/remove the audio jack 4/6 times and if necessary repeat

HP's "part surfer website" may also list the board that holds the audio jack{s} as a part you can buy from HP

nope,.....just checked your AIO system uses a laptop style motherboard with the jacks soldered to the board
