May 6, 2015 10:22 PM in response to Carolyn Samitby MattyFromLife,Thanks! Very quick fix.
The audio stopped working when I plugged in a soundcard for use with ableton live. my preferences for when not using Live was set to standard built in speakers. Maybe this is an issue as well?
Cheers Carolyn Samit.

May 26, 2015 3:41 PM in response to alphanumeric123by petitphilosophe,I tried plugging in headphones and then unplugging them, and the problem disappeared. Don't know if that will fix it for everyone, but might be worth a try.

Jan 3, 2016 8:08 AM in response to alphanumeric123by Jsharpe412,I found the answer to this by the following post I found elsewhere:
Check to see if there is a glowing red light INSIDE your audio port. I had the red light, but was lucky enough to catch it before it shut off again. It means your digital audio out has switched on. Even if you don't see a red light, you can insert a plastic/wood toothpick in the hole and try and switch it off. The switch should be at the 3 o'clock position and go towards the 6 o'clock position. Some people also have had luck inserting their headphone jack and pulling out a few times, however the toothpick worked for me. Another recent report was that inserting the headphone jack and turning it in the hole helped.
