Q: audio out port does not work. any advice to fix it?

My "audio out" port (headphone port) does not seem to work. It stops speakers on macbook from working but does not make sound. I tried several headphones and orbit sets but no luck. Any advice?

MacBook Pro, iOS 8.4.1

When I plug in a device to the headphone port, it turns off the volume in the Menu Bar (and also in iTunes if I have it running).

All I have to do is turn those volume controls back on, and I have sound coming from my external speakers.

I hope this is as simple a fix for you as it is for me.
