| 1184505 | 2011-03-27 00:13:00 | I also have a problem with Macbook sound. My computer thinks there are headphones plugged in so will not produce any sound. There is a little red light inside the headphones socket. I can still get sound through headphones but most of the time want to operate without them. Can't find any solution in System Preferences / Sound. Anyone know how I can sort this out? | David_Small (16269) | ||

I would assume that the headphone socket is a normal 3.5 mm diameter one, there is normally a switch built into the socket to turn off the external speakers and sense the socket is being used (looks like this upload.wikimedia.org), you may have dirt/corrosion in that switch or it may be bent, maybe try blowing it through with compressed air. Might need professional disassembly/repair unless you want to do it yourself (though I think Apple tend to use special screws to hold their stuff together :groan:). |
