Well, I re-flowed that join at least 5 times, so I doubt it was a bad joint. And just loosening and re-tightening wouldn't explain fixing it if it were damaged form heat.

Oh well, I'm happy it appears to be working.

Well, so far it seems to have been the culprit. Glad to have it resolved. New speaker location is giving me a whole new sound. It's amazing how much difference speaker orientation can make!

After a day everything sounding fine I woke up this morning and the left channel was barely audible. What's strange is that I didn't touch the jack.

So I fiddled with the jack a bit, and tightened it slightly some more (it was already very very tight). Now it's OK again.

What's weird about all this is that if it is this mechanical problem of a lack of tight connection, why was I getting decent sound and only later poor sound?

At this point I don't expect it to last another 24 hours...

How about using some glue on the threads to hold the jack tight (or between the screw an nut).  Nothing too crazy, maybe hot glue or some gorilla glue?
