[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 949044, member: 24160"] The red light indicates the optical switch is stuck in the 'on' position. While it is stuck on, your internal speakers are not going to work. You can take a toothpick (or similar) and tickle the inside of the jack to turn it off. You're not jabbing it around hard enough to break anything, just kind of slide it in and out around the sides of the port until it turns off. It happens on occassion - only once on my now 3 year old machine. Or take it to Apple to let them fix it. [/QUOTE]
