My solution was to get the sound to work by pushing the earphones in and out
of the jack a couple of times until the sound worked with them out (played a
little mp3 tune each time to check). That was six months ago. I haven't
plugged anything into the earphone jack since then, and haven't lost sound
even once.

But apparently the problem is progressive; the more you use the jack the worse
the situation gets, so maybe your unit is too far gone by now. But give it a
shot. Get the sound to work on the speaker, avoid using the jack and see what
happens over time. Nex
