I'm thinking it might be BOTH a hardware and software issue, and it's related something other than the pin inside the jack. The reason I'm saying this is that myself (and several others) have had the problem, have done hard resets, have played around many many times with the jack with no result, only to have it "magically" fix itself and stay fixed. If it WAS a problem with the jack, you'd expect it to STAY broken, or at least break again soon after once the pin went back out of whack again. The way it breaks and the way it resolves itself seems to point to some sort of internal issue that gets aggrivated by something, then UNaggrivated by something else. And if its a file ROM, a hard reset of course would just replace the same quirky file.

Its not beyond the relm of possibility that the volume level switch is what was aggrivating the problem. And instead of HTC fixing the hardware problem on existing devices, they just disabled the feature that was aggrivating it in the first place...
