hi there,
this is my first post on these forums so i'm hoping someone can help me out. On my previous mac, a dual G5 powermac, the audio output would automatically change depending on where i wanted the sound to come from.

for example the majority of the time my mac played through my hi-fi via the line out on the back of the mac. on occasion though i used headphones through the headphone socket on the front of the computer. when the headphones were plugged in the output automatically changed to headphone out.

On my 2.66 quad mac pro i have to manually change the audio output in system preferences.

any ideas on how i can get the mac to automatically detect the audio output.

many thanks
