Ear ph problem

[Android Central Question]

Although I do not have any earphones connected to my MI note 3, the phone thinks I do and has no sounds audible. If I do plug in earphones, they work fine. But, unplugging them does not remove the earphones connected icon, nor does normal sound return. Is there a setting that will correct this problem, or should I seek repair? I have tried powering down and re-booting, with no success. Any suggestions?

The earphone jack is defective and has to be replaced. I'd suggest a reliable repair shop.
