Hi
my sister has a MacBook, and she put her iPod shuffle headphones in
the
headphone port to listen to some music.
But now she has taken them out, there is no sound whatsoever from the
speakers, and trying to adjust the volume doesnt do anything (comes up
with the volume box thingy with a round stop symbol)
The actual headphone jack is now showing a red light from within
it, and
she has restarted the laptop it to no avail
any help would be much appreciated
Hi Ashley,
The red light is the 'digital optical out'.
The connection points in the jack are sticking causing the 'optical
input' setting to engage.
There's a small switch in the very back of the headphone jack. I know
it doesn't sound like a good idea, but just take a tooth pick or
something small and flick the tab by the light.
it's somewhere around the 4 or 5 o'clock position.
The switch turns the computer's audio out from digital to analogue
and seems to get stuck with some computers.
Cheers,
Ronni
