I have a small type TRS stereo jack (phone jack) for my Monsoon amplifier that goes to the computer. One of the speakers is dead if it's plugged in all the way into the subwoofer/amp. If I pull it out a bit to the first "stop" sometimes both speakers will work, but it's spotty.
Why do these jacks tend to go bad (I've probably bumped it with my foot to often)? Can it be fixed or should I just get a new plug and jack?

Have the jack replaced, and it should be good.
You will have to identify the part, and order it from any of the major electronics parts suppliers. You will then need the tools and skill to replace the jack.
The other alternative is to give the unit to any local electronics service center, and let them do the job.
