    Hi there Lutostan,

     

    It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:

     

    Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs

     

    1. If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
      Digital Out selected as Built-in Output
      1. Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
      2. Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
      3. If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
    2. If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.
