So I had an issue with my phone today, where no audio would play through the auxiliary port anymore. It was working fine in the morning, and then in the afternoon it just stopped.
I could get some audio to come out if I pressed down really hard with the aux jack, but as soon as I would let go, it was out again.
I was thinking the worse, when I thought to try and just clean it out.
Turns out that's all it was!
From keeping my phone in my pocket, the auxiliary port had gathered up quite a bit of pocket lent. I simply used a bent paper clip to clean it all out, and voila, it worked!
So if you're ever having this issue, try the above and hopefully it will resolve your issue.
Also, I originally used a tooth pick to dig some of it out, but then the tip broke inside so I had to dig that out too... So I would suggest not using a tooth pick for this very reason. A paperclip is the way to go.
