As the title suggests, I'm having some issues with the core audio driver in my 2011 15" MacBook Pro. It will spasmodically change the audio output routing between internal speakers, then to optical out, and then to headphones (in no particular order) as if I were plugging in headphones or an optical cable into the headphone jack. Obviously this is quite annoying when I'm just casually using the computer to watch or listen to something, but when I'm working on any mixing/producing projects, it is downright infuriating. This has been going on for about two weeks on and off, not happening for a few days at a time and then happening for a few days in a row. My guess is that it's just a faulty audio output jack, but since my warranty isn't good anymore, I have absolutely no desire to take it to a mac store to double check. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
