My uncle has had a MacBook Pro for some time and recently the headphone port failed to recognize his headphones so the only way to hear audio was through the onboard speakers.

So he took it to the Apple store.

Apple told him they had to replace the whole Logic board: $500.

About a month later he runs a system update and the problem is resolved, now he can use his headphones again.

This isn't really a question though I'd like to know how this happened (I'm only a PC dude now). Also, I'm warning anybody who would be in the same situation and pay to have it fixed.

No, I don't think he did...but I guess a driver issue is a good explanation. I've had issues that usually were resolved with a driver update.
