You could try increasing the volume, as the speaker and headphone volumes are controlled separately. I supposed to rule out software entirely, you could boot up from something like the recovery partition and see if your headphones work there. If that doesn't work, then you may need to take your Mac into the Apple store for examination or give Apple a call to set up a repair.

I'm having a problem with my Macbook Air, and it has me very worried: when I plug in headphones, I lose audio. If I unplug them, it comes back. The headphones are new, and work in my iPhone, leading me to the disturbing conclusion that my Air's audio jack could be bad. The Mac is only three, and has really only seen heavy use for a year or so, so I'm not sure how this might have happened. I'm hoping it might be software, but I don't know, and I don't know how to check. Does anyone know how I might confirm that the problem is definitely hardware, and not some crazy software thing? It started a few days after I began to play with Audio Hijack, and while that may well be coincidence, I'd like to know for sure. It happens even when Audio Hijack isn't running, for what that's worth. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
