Sound not coming out of computer?

I got a used custom computer for a pretty good price. I found 2 problems with it. One is the cd drive won't work (found out it was unplugged. plugged it up to a power source and it will open and close, just need to get a data cord for it) And the sound won't work at all. I plugged earphones to the front and rear jacks and I found something stuck in the rear one, like part of a speaker plug. It seems to be keeping the other jack from working. Anything I can do? we tried to get it out but we can't. If I got USB speakers would that work, or would the stuck plug trick the sound card into thinking it needs to push sound through the broken one?

Sorry if I sound like a noob...I am haha. I don't know alot of the real terms for parts but I'm not totally ignorant either lol.

If you can, you can get a cheap PCI-e sound card if you know how to install it and replace the old one. If not, just do what bengal said and get a USB sound card
