You could get a sound card if it's a desktop computer. There are also Usb sound 'cards' if it's a laptop.

Well you could try sugru which is a moldable glue except it's like silly putty.You mold it around the jack and leave it for 24 hours to harden into a rubber like substance.It's also flexible.Check it out,it just may save that jack connection and stop it from wiggling.I'm doing that exact thing,just waiting for my DAP jack connection to harden over the 24 hour period to save a loose 2.5mm jack connection that wiggles and is broken just like yours.Just did it this afternoon.
I don't think gluing a headset into a jack is a good idea.
If the headset breaks, then you have 2 broken items: the jack/port and the headset glued there.
I probably try a USB headset if the 2.5mm port doesn't seem to get a good connection.

Which is why I suggested sugru,it's not a liquid glue and you mold it around the jack and port.It can be removed.I don't think gluing a headset into a jack is a good idea.

moldable glue? It's the word glue that is misleading. Perhaps it should have been explained that it is not glue.
