Harry,
You're thinking of the multi-out connectors of the newer Intel Macs,
like the MacBook. The OP's G5 has a separate connector for analog and
optical audio output. We have already established here that the OP has
a problem (not too far off from what you're explaining) with plug
detection in the
Greetings,
The problem is actually caused by a little switch inside the jack that
gets stuck. When you stick in an audio cable, it pushes the switch
down. If it's an analog cable, the end is made of metal. If it's
optical, the end is made of plastic. If the switch is pressed down,

I cannot move the volume slider on the optical digital out device.
It's greyed out, and remains on full volume no matter what. If I

OK...mystery is at least partially solved. If you go to system
preferences, choose sound, choose output, choose digital out and set the
volume off the bottom of the scale, then you get the light around the

Yes, that's the correct port.

The optical audio out is always one(hence the red light), the system won't
turn it off because it doesn't know if you are going to plug something into
it or not. If you have any other devices that have optical out, you will
notice they are always on as well.

I can confirm the constant red light of the optical port, this is
normal with ANY optical audio port, not just those on the G5. If you
have any home theater or stereo equipment with optical out, it will be
lit all the time too.
I agree with what another poster said about there being something

Yes, it's always lit up red.
I did bite the bullet, and reset the PMU. The reset made
difference,
so no internal speaker and thus no chime on startup.
Other ideas?
On my dual 2.7 here, the only external light that's on when running is
the one near the power switch. I don't see any lights around the
optical drive. Which light is it that is always on for you on your dual
2.7 machines? Somewhere inside the machine?

I have a G5 2.7 DP, and the red optical light is always on.
But I got it used, so I don't know if this is the default.
The audio output works fine, thou.
