i have 4.1 sound system connected to my imac for months now, but today when trying to hear from the internal speakers i couldn't...
i noticed it first when it didn't allow me to control the volume with the apple remote (nor the keyboard keys for it). then i tried the system preferences and only digital output appears in the output devices. strangely, the headphones socket has that constant red light on, meaning it is in digital mode.
each time i plug in the speakers mini-jack to the output socket, device changes to headphone in system preferences.
can't really understand the logic of this... can anyone give me a help?
i'm gonna sell the mac in a couple of weeks, so this really happened in bad time...
thanks
