Hello, I am new to this forum because of a problem I had with my Mac. A couple of months ago I got the plug of the headphones stuck in the jack since I pulled it out wrong and it broke off and got stuck in there. I did not have any problems with the internal speakers but obviously I could not plug any headphones in. I tried everything to get the jack out but it wouldn’t come out. Just yesterday I was on the Mac and I was about to watch a video on YouTube and I turned up the volume by pressing f12 but when I pressed it the volume sign would come up but with a cross bar coming up meaning no sound. I went to the System Preferences/Sound/Output and I saw that in the area where it said :Select a device for sound output The only device available was “Digital Out” as in the headphone piece. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you
If you have a headphone plug stuck in the jack there is a neat tool that will pull it out. Here’s the details: GripStick
