Hi- i have a 9,1 imac from around 2009 and it has always had this problem from time to time, so i thought i should address it sooner or later.

specifically, the sound tends to get lost when i plug headphones in. sometimes i have to plug and unplug, sometimes nothing works at all like today--i have no sound right now through speakers or headphones. no volume error sign in either case when i use the buttons- it goes up and down but no blip blip noise.

is this a known issue with a cure? snow leopard and lion both have given me the same issue. i've read some other posts on it and they haven't been very helpful. system prefs sound says internal speakers.
