well, we did what you said, checked out the discussion forums on the apple website (as it seems to be a semi-common problem), laughed at the ridiculous suggestions, attempter to 'reset' the motherboard all to no avail we resorted to ringing apple australia, laughed with the tech guy when he read the suggestions on the boards, looked at the sys prefs umpteen times, put in and pulled out the headphones, and finally resorted to the fact that it is a hardware problem so now off it goes to DigiLife in the city to be looked at by the techs, whether it be a motherboard problem or a 'sticky' headphone jack
