I would probably suspect this as the cause of flaky audio. As time goes by, the jacks/inserts also corrode, ever so slightly, causing poor connections and audio drops ... corrosion even while plugged in, especially if the atmosphere is polluted ... so it could change while sitting perfectly still ... I even get this on my Mackie Pro audio board ... gold plated connectors avoid this. And I live in a small town, "limited pollution" (still on the planet Earth, though) ... except for the pollen ... Unplugging and plugging it back in, sometimes cleans things up ... although you say its broken off inside ...
