Due to carelessness on my part the headset jack on my laptop has been damaged. I have to wiggle it around to get sound in both ears, the sound is crackly, buggered in other words! I hold little hope for repairing it, but is there another way I can get the sound into a pair of earphones through another port? It's a fairly old Toshiba Satellite Laptop.

Try googleing 'USB Headset'. Plenty of choice if your laptop has USB ports available.
