[Ben_Light]

I am trying to insert a headphone with 3.5 mm jack-plug, but no luck. so I want to find out the actual size of the audio jack on my laptop ?

Start by looking up the specs on the manufacturer's web site. However, the most common size is 1/8inch.

I have checked there is no mention about it on the website. I'm talking about Dell XPS i7 - 2019. Can you check somewhere else and guide me?

As above. The standard size used (for decades) is 1/8inch

Are you sure you have the correct plug; this laptop is designed for a headset, which has both headphone and mic components (similar to a phone). These use a TRRS plug which is not the same as a headphone-only TRS plug. You can google these to see pictures that show what each plug looks like. If you do not have the correct plug you will need to buy an adapter.

As much as I agree with all above, basically you have a plug and a hole, that you want to know the dimentions of. The tool to use is a caliper. If you never heard of that, google it and look at pictures. If you don't know how to use one, there are several Youtubes that shows how to.

How can I measure the depth of the hole?

How can I measure the depth of the hole?

Knowing Depth is not needed, it goes with diameter.

Standard 1/8" is all you need to know. A combination headphone/mic plug has three barrels. L/R and mic. headphones on have 2, L/R. Get a manual for your mini and read it!
