Hi, Since I installed a Samsung TFT HDTV monitor (great picture BTW after calibration with the Apple software under Tiger - much better than the new iMacs IMHO and cheap too) and use its built-in speakers via the sound out stereo minijack my bong is also gone. I also have a M-Audio Revolution 7.1

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, the computer

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? Valter Prahlad November 1, 2011 7:22

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

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. -- You received this message because
