Headphone jack broken

[BloodyDayz]

So recently I have dropped my laptop by accident and my headphones plugged in, helped me avoid serious damage.

But then after that I noticed that the right audio on my headphones didn't work. I tried with other earbuds/headphones and the right audio still didnt work. But whenever I pulled the cable towards me the right audio worked. And I know that obviously the right sound reciever on the jack was out of place/broken. I only need help finding if this is reairable.

The headphone jack could possibly be repaired internally but it would probably be a costly repair. It might be easier to use a USB audio adapter like this Sabrent.

Thanks, I will look forward to buying one.

Is the audio going to be lower quality through one of these adapters versus what would come out of a speaker or headphones plugged directly into the headphone jack?

I guess it depends on how good the built-in audio circuit in your computer is but I own the Sabrent USB audio adaptor in the link above and the quality seems the same as my low-end computer's built-in audio.
