You take it to someone who can fix broken audio ports or find a module suitable for replacement and do it yourself.

Do your speakers still work?

Your computer thinks the headphones are still connected? Is the audio jack obstructed?

I guess you could get a USB soundcard if it's truly broken. I'd go for an Express or PCMCIA card soundcard, though.

Are you sure it's not a software issue? Did you check to see if your speakers are muted? Soundcard drivers still installed?

Can you post the model or specs. of your laptop? Do you have audio or sounds when using just the laptop's built-in speakers?
