    So exactly as my title states I have a 6860 and I am not getting sound out of my headphone jack. I am getting sound out of the onboard speakers. Also if i mess around with the plug it will put out sound but only when it is plugged in like close to all the way and I have to twist it around. What driver is the correct driver for the sound on this laptop? I am having a ton of trouble after this reinstall with sound drivers.

    The fact that doing something physically means it's unlikely a driver issue.
    Have you tried another set of speakers or a pair of headphones?
