It is possible to replace the audio jack, but there is no iFixit guide at this time for it for this machine. However there is a guide on a similar iMac machine that has the same display size, if you are willing to take chances and see if they are at all similar because I have never worked on this particular model of the iMac. Do it at your own risk!

@ajcooke02 - This model is very different than the 2012 model. Here''s the correct guide: iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2544 Logic Board Replacement jump down to Step57 where the jack connection is disconnected.

@danj thats a great example of why I said do it at your own risk. I know little to nothing about this particular model. All I know is that it is possible to get to the ports and remove them somehow.

@ajcooke02 - To make things easier if you click on the top right system info you'll get to what we have for the given system. That way you don't need to go searching hitting the wrong info.

Did the tip of the headphone jack get stuck inside? If it did you could try this tool GripStick Headphone Plug Extraction Tool.
