Why won't my music play out loud anymore?

I usually plug my iPhone into my radio and the sound bar disappears, I'm used to that and when I'd unplug it it'd be back and my music would play out loud no problem.

Well as of yesterday it doesn't play outloud. My alarm wouldn't even go off this morning , my ringtone will go off no problem when I get a call or text. But to play music I don't get the sound bar. I can plug my headphones in at it appears.

I've shut my phone off and restarted it.

I also held the sleep button and home button to reboot it .

Nothing .

Is there a setting I need to change , ?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

Try inserting and removing the headphones several times in a row to try to release the mechanism that has not released which currently indicates the headphones remain inserted when they are not. The ringtone for a call will go off regardless if headphones are inserted - for those with headphones inserted and being used that may remove the headphones from their ears and set the phone down temporarily without removing the headphones from the iPhone - so a call won't be missed.
