My right speaker's the one that falls out as well ... something about the plug arrangement consistent across audio I believe. My cat usually goes for bigger game when re-arranging things to suit his current mood ... like a small portable TV on the kitchen counter ... (now dust) Duct Tape might be the answer here also, or some molding of the earthquake putty I use to hold my PCI cards in place in my PPC 8500, and the UV-LED I put into my Yikes! to light up the sculpted Apple on the front.
