Yes, here is a guide to dismantle an original Nintendo DS:

How to dismantle a Nintendo DS.

If yours is the NDS Lite, just find this video in youtube:

"Disassembling Nintendo DS Lite"

And after opening it you may need to replace or try to repair the audio plug. In case you cant, then you must take it out (desoldering it with the stuck stylus tip and the mute switch, which is embeded in the headphone jack) and you can have your audio back.
As the audio switch and the jack only work to mute the speakers audio usually when you plug a headphone then you can lack of it almost all times.

I have no sound on my power book g4 what to do

Is the mute button on?

Is the volume turned up?

I had a volume problem at one point. The issue was that the headphone jack. The microswitch/switch in side the headphone jack hole was stuck in the 'off' position. I inserted and took out the headphones from the jack several times and this flipped the switch.

Pioneer VSX-456 headphone jack problem

No the headphone jack doesn't disable the speakers. There are two switches in the lower middle of the receiver that are labeled speaker A and B. Pushing one of these should disconnect the speakers from the receiver.

Mac stuck on mute

There is something stuck in the macbook's earphone jack. If not, it could be that the 'mute' button was pressed hard enough causing it to be jammed. Try restarting the computer or inserting a earpiece into the jack to undo the process.

Alternatively, you may wanna head to the nearest IT service centre as attempting to repair a mac on your own could result in a billshock if the process goes wrong.

Hi,
Please ensure that your bios setting is enabled for audio.
1. Have you installed the correct windows 7 driver or have you configured with the vista driver?
2. If you have installed with windows 7 driver, check it for 32 bit or 64 bit and you are installed perfectly!
3. Check the windows service. Go to "run", type "services.msc" and press enter. In that opened window, direct to "windows audio". Open it and check the service is started or not. Also ensure that the startup type is set to be "automatic".
Hoping you will be short out!

it maybe that the cut off switch in the headphone jack has stuck as you place in a jack to the headphone socket there is a small switch that mutes the normal speakers and this should switch back on as you remove the headphones, this may have stuck. you will have to open the back and check the back from inside. try to short the mute and see if that is the problem. maybe squirt a small amount of contact cleanrer spray in the jack hole and insert and remove the headphone jack a few times this may resolve.

I hope this was helpful

Adding remote control activated ''mute'' to TV headphone jack

Generally when the head phone jack is inserted the speakers will get disconnected automatically.

If you are going to use external amplifier you can try the AV sockets. Opening the TV you may require the special screw drivers some times.

Broken headphone jack

you should be able to get it out from the inside on the card. Do you have a sound card or is your sound on the motherboard?
