[Elecraft] K2 - no speaker audio but headphones work

[Don Wilhelm]

Jake,

It certainly sounds like your headphone jack has broken that little 
plastic lever inside its package.
Unfortunately, there is not a higher quality replacement.  Elecraft has 
tried to encourage the manufacturer to make it more reliable, but to no 
avail.

The only 'proper' fix is to replace the jack.
You could short across the switch and make the speaker work, but it will 
stay on when you insert the headphones (unless you put a plug in the 
external speaker jack).  That may be a reasonable temporary fix if you 
need the speaker.

73,
