| RE: the selected device has no output controls I recently had the same problem. Including the red light in the headphone jack of my MacbookPro 15inch Intel. running MacOSX 10.4.11.
SOLUTION that worked for me.
with the red light showing in jack, plug in an ear phone set jack (eg, from the ipod or any mp3 ear phone set jack. GO into sys prefs. select a different output sound, then back to head phone output.
Then shut the Mac down.
Remove the earphone jack and reboot.
That fixed it for me, but I don't know which of the above actions caused the fix.
