i would look through your warranty specifics and see why they won't replace it under warranty...
if you did indeed break it off of the motherboard, that will be a costly fix, and you cant redirect the output (to my knowledge) through the input..
the cheapest route (if you cant get the warranty thing to work out) would be as Zero2 suggested. Buy a usb (or a firewire) soundcard type thing..
like the soundblaster extigy (external soundblaster, pretty much)
