Q: Sound device option for internal speakers just disappeared
I have iOS 10.6.8. Yesterday the sound from the internal speakers disappeared, seemingly without provocation. I used Time Machine to replace the System Preferences with one from a week ago when the speakers worked just fine. No help. I checked the sound section of the System Preferences and the only option for device for sound output was headphones. I am getting sound thru the headphones just fine, but that seems to be the only option. I plugged (and unplugged) the headphones repeatedly. No change. I reset the PRAM a couple of times. Now it says "headphones" as name and "Optical digital-out port" as type. I've run out of ideas (and can't find anything useful in answers to other similar questions). HELP!!
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS 10.6.8
