That's true.

| A short to GND when applying the silver-varnish on the other hand
might cause
| the distortion you have heard.

It's generally possible (you don't suggest what is shorted) but I wonder
if it can be more that there is 65R DC path to 0V on U4101 LEFTOUT that
wasn't there before the caps were shorted in the case the headset is in.

Is the internal speaker still distorted if you remove the headset from
the socket?
