amazing! it fixed my problem as well
Question marked as
Finally, I fixed it and so far so good.
What I did is:
Open a console and type in :
sudo chown -R _coreaudiod:admin /Library/Preferences/Audio
This will fix permissions.
Then type in:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force
This will clear and rebuild dyld (dynamic linker)
And finish with:
sudo killall coreaudiod
To restart the audio daemon. The sound should come back instantly and keep working on reboot.

This worked for me as well! So much easier than the other fixes. Mine just greyed out for no reason.
This is the best, and easiest answer. Should be a sticky.
Excellent! Thanks. Fixed in a sec.
Thanks, It worked for me too.
I have attached the headphone and typed sudo killall coreaudiod on terminal couple of time and tried removing head phone couple of time. Thanks
Literally, I read this whole thread. One person said, "Blow into the headphone jack." Done and done. Its not a software issue. Its a hardware issue. Clear the lint out of the jack.
