Use this guide to replace a damaged or broken headphone jack in your MacBook Air 15" 2023.
You may need to replace the headphone jack if your 3.5 mm cable has a loose connection when plugged in or if you hear distorted sound, static noise, or audio only coming from one side.
Before replacing the headphone jack, test your headphones with another device to verify that the issue isn't with the headphones themselves.
