Loose Headphone Jack?

My headphone audio is funky latly as it ramps up and is raspy sometimes? I thought I would clean jack out with Q-tip and alcohol couldn't find contact cleaner Deoxit so tried this first. Anyways when I stuck the Q-tip in the socket I notice I could move jack back and forth? I was wondering if anyone else noticed this on there Etrac? It is nice and tight with the headphones plugged in though? Anyways not much dirt came out so I will try detector this afternoon. I fear this isn't the problem and may have to drop it off as one good thing only live 15 minutes from there repair center.Thanks.

Thanks ,But I tried 2 different sets. I took it out yesterday for a couple hours with no problems. It seems at the end of the hunt it happens. Since it is out of warranty I split the housing open and peeped inside and it is in a pocket But still moves a little back and forth? I think they hot glued in as not to move? Maybe it detriated or something as no way they would leave that mich play? OH Well I will use until it happens again then try another coil and then master reset before I take it in. I was just wondering if anyone else's was loose? Kinda surprised only one response? Where are the experts know that you need them??????????????????
