Why does my MotoG headphone jack think headphones are plugged in?

[AC Question]

MotoG headphone jack thinks headphones are plugged in

well i broke a pair of ear buds by pulling the jack out of the phone really hard from the side (cord got caught on my knee) and since the my phone randomly thinks head phones are plugged in and it only effects the multimedia it sucks im looking for an app that maybe plays music through headphones and speakers or if anyone has an idea how i could counter\fix this

Welcome to Android Central! Can you tell if the tip of the headphone plug broke off and remained in the jack? If so, follow the steps in this video to try to remove it.
