Curt,
Yes, the same thing applies. The little plastic lever inside the jack
breaks leaving the switch in a position where either the speaker is
active all the time, or more often that the speaker does not work
because it is not engaged.
Unfortunately, Elecraft has not been successful in encouraging the
manufacturer to beef up the design of that fragile lever, so we are left
with the task of replacing the jack when it fails.
If you do not want to replace the jack, I can give you instructions on
how to bypass it with a wire so the speaker is on all the time, and then
to silence it, you can plug a bare 3.5mm jack into the EXT speaker jack
on the back of the K2.

My K2's speaker stopped working, headphones still work. This has
happened twice since building my K1 because the "switch" inside the K1
jack is sawed in half by plugging and unplugging headphones.
Does this same failure mode apply to the K2 headphone jack?
