Hi Everyone,
I know that there are a lot of Mac users on here so I thought that I would post about a problem that I am having in the hopes that someone may have an answer.
My Macbook Pro (late 2011 model) with OS 10.8.2 is behaving oddly. If I plug in any audio plug into the headphone jack such as the earphones that came with my iPhone 5, everything works great. But after unplugging the headphones, the built in speakers don't work. The audio icon in the tool bar is greyed out and going to the system prefs shows no option for audio. Plugging the headphones back in and audio works there. Sometimes plugging and unplugging the headphones eventually clears this up but most times it does not.
After leaving the headphones unplugged for a while (30 minutes... overnight... or sometimes after the computer is put to sleep and revived) the built in audio starts working again.
This has been bugging me for a while now and I was hoping that someone here might have run into this and know a solution.
Thanks.
