Audio not working.... please help!

Alot of the time when I talk on my phone I use the headset for hands free, but recently I've been having a major problem. After I unplug the headphones, the phone still recognizes them as being plugged in(pressing the volume buttons on the side causes "Ringer(Headphones)" to pop up on my screen.
Now, because the phone still thinks my headphones are plugged in, it doesn't play any audio, except for ringtones... but if I answer the phone, I can't talk unless I plug my headphones back in first. I've tried using the silent/ring switch on the side, restarting my phone multiple times, plugging it into my charger and into my computer, and plugging the headphones back in and then unplugging them again... so I don't know what to do. Please help!

Ok-i think I figured it out (maybe?) I tried the aforementioned tricks to get the headphone jack clean and to no avail neither of them worked. So after some thinking, I used my air compressor to blow out the jack and my phone audio instantly worked. Now I don't recommend doing this because the air could damage your phone if exposed for a period of time but I just did a short burst and it seemed to work fine. Hope this helps anyone who found this issue really annoying....cheers
