macbook pro audio out problem, nuts!

[karmakvisser]

This is the second time I've run into this.
MacBook Pro 2.16
10.4.11

Situation: no sound out from speakers in admin and user account and newly created account. Headphones work, startup chimes work on speakers.

Go to Sound in Preferences and only shows Digital Out for output. Should show Internal Speakers.

Ran Diskwarrior and Applejack and zapped pram. Took mac apart and confirmed speakers wired correctly which is verified by the start up chimes being audible on the internal speakers.

tested all accounts and created new account all with the same results.

Did search of Google and MacRumor. Found one unaswered post indicating same problem.

Had same problem with another macbook pro, ran same steps, take apart, confirm wiring setup, Diskwarriored, applejacked and zapped pram and it fixed the problem.

I'm not sure what else to try. Did check Audio Midi Setup util and it also did not see the internal speakers.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Have you done a hardware test? Put in install disc and restart while holding down the "d" key. Might turn up something, although I doubt it.

Otherwise, I would suggest reinstalling the OS. At least, that's what I'd try.

Sorry you're having this problem!

Sounds like the little micro switch in the head phone jack is stuck.

I've had this problem on a lot of machines before. The trick is to stick a match end or a small flat head screw driver into the head phone jack and wiggle it around for a bit. That will hit the switch and set it so you can play out of your speakers.

Good luck!

Work out fine for me. That was the solution!!
