iPod Touch Headphone Jack Isn't Working?

I own the original iPod Touch, I have had it for about 9 months, and out of nowhere the other day, I plugged my headphones in to listen, and I could only hear some of the instruments, and no vocals. At first I thought it was my headphones, but then I tried several other pairs, and none of them worked either. However, when I plugged it into an iPod Docking Station through the connector (not the headphone jack) it worked fine, so I know it's a problem with my iPod's headphone jack.

Any suggestions on how I could fix this?

If you bought it new only 9 months ago, which I think would be a little difficult, you can send it in to Apple or take it to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment first) and get it serviced under warranty. If it is out of warranty you can try a 3rd party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com or use Google to find other such sites. If you are the DIY type try http://www.ifixit.com and look at the pictures/videos on how to disassemble the iPod and replace the headphone jack.
