Audio issue (headphone output no working)

Anyone else had this problem... after installing Lion today I cannot get audio out of the headphone socket, when I insert headphones (I've tried two pairs, both of which I know are working fine) the audio just continues to play via the built in speakers. Also, in the system prefs the headphone socket doesn't appear in the list as an output option, only Internal Speakers? It's as though the system doesn't recognise the headphone socket


any ideas greatly received

I have the same problem. I upgraded to Lion last night and tried to use my headphone today but it no longer works. I also tried two different headphones which were both working fine previously, and got the same problem. Also, as you mentioned, System Preferences/Sound/Output does not show Headphones as an option, only Internal Speakers.

This appears to be a bug with Lion.

Could someone from Apple look into this?
