[djasmooth]

No clue, what happened, but i plugged in some headphones, and they wouldn't go in.. took it out and saw that some red light was on. Did a SMC and reset the PRAM.. Can someone help? Thanks

sounds like your optical light is on, you will need a tooth pick to put in there to flick the switch inside to turn it off, or a toslink adapter.

Don't worry. It's a well known problem:

i had 1 set of headphones who's jack caused this to happen all the time, if it happens a lot get some other headphones!

Yeah that didn't work! I shouldn't have bought those headphones yesterday! If I take it to the AppleStore would they be able to do it?

Have you gone to system preferences, and made sure the sound is on bulilt in speakers? If it is on built in speakers, use the tooth pick, if it didnt work you probably didnt do it right.
