I can no longer plug in headphones into my M1 Macbook Pro headphone jack, it stops half way, what could possibly be the problem?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2
I figured it out, discovered a tiny black ring had found it's way into the jack, was able to get it out with a toothpick

The headphone jack is a physical piece of hardware. Something inside could have bent or broken. Something could have become lodged in it. In either event there is no solution except to take it in for examination and repair. You might take a look with a strong light to see if you see anything. You might put a small amount of dielectric grease (found in any hardware store electrical section) on the tip of your headphone plug and GENTLY push to see if it goes in.
Well then, as I said, there’s nothing you can do about it except take it to an Apple Store or authorized Apple service provider for examination and repair. Unless accidental damage is discovered the repair should be covered under warranty. That’s it.
Thanks for you response but nothing got broken inside of it, it's a new laptop and I've used the headphone jack just about 3 times, each time it worked fine, and no one else has access, just noticed this today
Excellent!
