My baby got ahold of my speaker, and now when I turn it on, no sound comes out. If I put it in my headphones, I can hear the music.
Do you think she clogged up tha jack?
How do I clean it?

First option: If you have an electronic duster, put the straw in the jack and clean it out with that.
2nd option: If you have a Q-tip or brush small enough to fit in the jack, dab it in alcohol, and swirl it around in the jack.
If there is dirt in it, that should clean it out.

After you fix the problem, look into putting your speakers somewhere that the baby can't reach them. Electronics and babies don't get along well sometimes. It's kind of dangerous.

Don't I know it. I live in a small space, and I am constantly running around and picking up things she shouldn't have. She is just starting to take small steps as well, so it seems each new spot I find to put things, she just as quickly finds away to get into. I think it is time to install cabinet locks. Smh

Exactly! My little girl has a knack for finding all the little areas where I move the dangerous, or valuables to. The more you don't want her to have it, the more her shifting little mind must have it. I feel like half of her brain is completely devoted into overcoming the baby "obstacles" we put on all the dangerous cabinets. Right now we have the little latches you slide through the handles, but I predict she will figure those out in a few months.
