I broke my front audio panel ports. It could have been through shipping it to new york or through all the times the headphone and mic jacks have been accidentally wrenched out of their ports. The ports for both the headphone and mic jack are now angled downward and will only work if they are angled upwards again through something holding them up. In addition they have become looser with the jacks sliding in and out easily. Is there a way to repair just the audio ports and not have to replace the whole panel?

I had to buy a soundcard due to every one of my audio ports taking a huge shit. Thats probably the best budget one I found. No problems as far as I know and gets no interference.

The front audio panel is part of the case, so you have 3 options:
1) Fix it yourself (soldering iron?)
2) Buy a replacement/new case (Anything but full-tower is usually dirt cheap)
3) See if you can purchase that one part from the manufacturer

No, you can't sold that shit. Those audio jacks are really hard to fix once they're broken, if you try to sold them yourself you're just going to break them completely.
However, a good technician who knows what he's doing can fix it pretty easily for you, if you don't have any other jacks in your computer you should do that. But if you also have the common audio jacks that comes with most mb that are at the back of the tower, then just buy cord extensors for your headphones and mic and use those plugs.
