How do I fix broken audio jack?

One day, I go to use my headphones on my Samsung Chromebook 2, but I am greeted with very distorted audio. I tried everything I could to try to fix it. (Wiggle the headphone jack, remove anything in the audio jack port, etc.) After a while I found out the the headphones work perfectly fine when the mic button is pressed on them. I tested another pair of headphones, and the same thing happened. It seems that whenever I use a pair of headphones with three plastic rings on the jack, the sound is very distorted. BUT, when I use headphones with only 2 plastic rings, it works perfectly fine. Any ideas?

(My headphones worked perfectly fine before, so something must have happened to my Chromebook port.)
