Since this morning the sound on my macbook pro has not been working? I had headphones plugged in and suddenly the sound stopped working, I didn't think anything of it and later when I'd unplugged the headphones the sound still isn't working? Why is this?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Hello, in my case, the issue was related to the physical port switch that determines whether you have optical audio cable or headphones plugged in. I have used the headphones that come bundled with Sony Xperia Z3 and they caused the port to stuck in digital audio mode.
When I plugged and unplugged Apple headphones, then sound came back. What a shame for Apple 🙂
This worked! My audio had been set to use the audio on a remote computer that I sometimes login to. Thank you!
Thanks, I think the sound output was stuck in digital mode and your post helped me resolve it. 🙂
This problem, I have discovered, ONLY happens to me when I use a certain pair of SkullCandy (non-Apple) earphones. I tried inserting and removing them 5 or 6, (15-20 😀) times, tried poking and prodding with a toothpick (as mentioned somewhere else in this thread), but nothing worked...
...UNTIL...!
I plugged in a pair of Apple brand earphones and upon removal, my problem was solved, first try. This has worked for me twice. Somehow, I think the problem is caused by using non-Apple headphones and is solved by inserting/removing Apple headphones.
Cheers!
➕✅➕✅ Exactly my scenario. Clever by Apple, and super annoying by Apple.
Thank you. It worked!
A toothpick has become my new best friend!
Thanks!
