I have no sound on my macbook.
I cant adjust the volume up or down. And I reset, the pram already and it still doesn't work. What can I do?

Thx
 
says digital out - built in output

theres a red light in the thing where you stick in your headphones
 
There are switches in the headphone jack that get stuck. Try to push your headphone jack in the macbook audio out a few times and see if you can get the red light to turn off. Once the red light goes off, your macbook speakers volume will return.
 
Apparently if you get a matchstick and poke it around until something clicks that usually fixes the problem. Or you could just plug and unplug your headphones repeatedly until it works.
 
ugh finally,
had to plug it in n also play some audio and then it finally works w/o the headphones. well for now anyway
 
It happened again after i put my mb to sleep.
the red light is on again.

it would go off n on.

it was off for a bit after it was on, and now it is on again

Don't stick anything in there - your MacBook is set to Digital Out, which means it's sending an optical signal to the headphone port (hence the red light) rather than an electronic one.

Go into your System Preferences and change your audio device, that should fix the problem.

the digital out thing is the only thing i can select on the outputs section. there is noting else.
