The 1/8" jack on the 5000 is not secured to the cabinet rather it is only soldered to the circuit board. If you abuse the jack it may detach from the circuit board, or become intermittent. I thought it was the plug, the cable, the powered speakers....but no.
Since the topic mentioned this jack......my experience and had to repair the jack soldering to the pcb.
