Similar to what deiga says, the jack get locks in a certain mode (headphone or optical) and will no longer output audio to the internal speakers. If you're comfortable messing around inside your computer, you can try and open it and bend the jack around a little and it could well solve your problem. You could always try deigas solution with a toothpick as well - although I preferred to just get straight inside and fix the issue directly. Good luck either way. | |

| Feb 21, 2011 at 15:44 | comment | added | Craig Walker | @IntuitionHQ: Could very well be the case, though it's weird that it'd successfully detect actual headphones. Is there any way to disable digital out? | |

| Feb 20, 2011 at 22:11 | comment | added | Ciaocibai | I've seen an issue before where things got bent inside the 3.5mm headphone jack so that it thought there were always headphones plugged in/it was trying to output optical audio. I don't suppose that could be the issue? | |
