When you unplug the headphones, is there a red light shining out from the headphone port? If so, the optical-out trigger is stuck in the "on" position. It's fairly normal. Read around on google/around here, you can fix it being careful with a thin toothpick or something of the like.
 
wow, I wish someone would have mentioned this in my thread haha, I'm having the same problem and just checked and I've got a red light too
