Chime DOES play when headphones are used.
This means the headphone port is physically defective. I 'should' make
a contact that re-enables the internal speaker when you remove the
headphones/speaker plug, but this isn't happening, so you have no
internal speaker. I'd just use external speakers and forget about it,
unless you think you can bend the contact a little so it makes contact
and works again, or solder on a replacement jack (too much work for me).
I cannot move the volume slider on the optical digital out device.
It's greyed out, and remains on full volume no matter what.
That's normal, it will only work when you connect it to some digital
device.
If I select the mute button on either optical audio device or internal
speaker, both are made mute and likewise deselecting either one means
both are NOT mute.
Again, normal, it's a global system-wide mute.
Nothing has effected the red lighted optical audio port; it remains
always on, unless machine shutdown. I'm unable to turn off the optical
digital audio port.
This is normal. It uses "light" instead of "electricity" to communicate.
Okay the port is lit up all the time, but "it
thinks" a device is connected and thus shows up in Sound Preferences
as a selectable device, or is it always in Sound Preferences even with
no device attached?
Yes, it's always in Sound Preferences even with no device attached.
Going to boot in Verbose mode to see if any clues.
kextstat shows both AppleTAS3004Audio and AppleTopazAudio are loaded
which seems reasonable.
These kexts are plugins that are nested within other kexts.
I'll repeat this one more time since you seem to be slow at
understanding the "problem". The "only" problem is your speaker/
headphones port is physically damaged and isn't making contact to re-
enable the internal speaker when there's no plug in the port. You can
either fix the port (hard) or use external speakers all the time
(easy). There's nothing wrong with your digital audio port, or your
Sound Preferences Pane.
