[QUOTE="Carllz, post: 1788520, member: 398737"] [b]safety pin + nvram reset[/b] Thank you! I had tried with a toothpick and paperclip but they were too big. I flipped my computer sideways and shined my phone's flashlight into the headphone jack to find what looked like a wad of paper. Sure enough, using a safety pin to break up the condensed paper (I had tried hammering my headphones into my computer, don't try that) helped me get it out in about 15 minutes (the safety pin is pretty flimsy and may not work for more solid objects). Next, I did a NVRAM reset as the volume wasn't quite yet working (Internal Speakers would not show up as an option); when my computer started back up, I just had to unmute it and voila –– it works again.
