I have a Wallstreet that had that problem. There is a known issue with
the Wallstreet jacks. I took it apart and soldered the board, and so
far, it now works fine. You can google info for the fix and a
take-apart guide from PBFixit.com.

With OS-X just backing up your drive may not give you a drive that
you can start from (which you could do prior to OS-X). Here are ways
to make a backup OS-X drive that can be a startup disk:
1. Use Carbon Copy Cloner, or
2. Use Tri-Backup, or
3. Use Apple Disk Utility
If you are using OS X.4 Carbon Copy Cloner is not updated. At least
not a few months ago when I needed to do this.
