My headphone jack broke and got stuck in my laptop. What's the best way to get it out without wrecking my audio slot? I was thinking using glue but I dunno if that would work.
Also, is there a way for my speakers to be priority all the time? My speakers won't work because there is a jack in the audio slot.

What you can do is take a very thing metal rod, like the flattened tip of a nail after grinding it and putting a small spot of super glue on it. Press that onto the end of the jack or the inside of the jack (depending on how it snapped) without making contact with the laptop and hold it there to let it dry, or do it upside down. You could always use a straightened paper clip or a toothpick if it's easier.
You gotta be super careful though, or you might end up gluing the jack into the socket.

Ask Jack. He has good ways of getting out of boxes so he might be able to help.
