i have no sound output through the digital line out port on my macbookpro (oldie from 2006).
yesterday i tripped over my audio cable and the minijack broke off. i managed to get it out quite easily with the bent top of a safetypin, but now i can only get sound over the built in speakers.
before the succesful safetypin i tried a tiny drop of superglue on the end of a qtip , this didnt work but it also doesnt look any glue was spilt.
there is no red light in the empty port, but i did see the light still works when i tried quickly inserting and taking out a minijack (another forum tip). so the switch inside doesn't seem to be the problem.
when pressing the volume buttons when minijack is inserted i get full volume squares and a no entry sign(circle with line through it).
would anyone have an idea how to solve this?
very grateful for any suggestions.
thanks for sharing your knowledge!
