[QUOTE="chscag, post: 874209, member: 46727"] That DOES NOT clearly indicate that your sound card is damaged and I don't know why you would think that way. :Angry-Tongue: The piece of headphone that is lodged in the jack appears to the system to be a headphone jack inserted and therefore the speakers are disconnected. If you go to System Preferences -> Sound, you'll see that the "headphones" are selected. Do a search on this forum for solutions to removing the piece of headphone jack that's lodged. There have been many posts over the years with exactly the same problem. Plenty of folks have been able to remove the headphone piece themselves without damaging the machine. I don't know what you mean about it being an "unfixable problem"... it can be fixed. Just use a little resourcefulness and don't jump to conclusions about what's wrong. Like I said above, do a search. Regards. [/QUOTE]
