[QUOTE="madwolfe, post: 1331101, member: 225048"] I do get the dong (?) sound on startup so I know there is nothing wrong with the internal speakers. I would agree with the optical-out sentiment except there is no red light. Is this red light merely an indicator and if so, when was it introduced? When I plug in my amped speakers, I get a loud interference-like buzzing where as when I plug it into my iPod, there is no sound. That is the only noise the computer makes (Apart from startup). :S I honestly would prefer not to be soldering anything inside my Mac, I can solder OK but that would be tempting fate. I will however look up on how to clean the jack but, as you said, the timing seems to be against this. I have never gotten my Mac serviced, could you give me an idea as to the cost/what is done? The audio jack is connected to the Logic board so if I will need a replacement for that (Expensive as I understand) I will survive without my precious music. Thanks for the help so far. [/QUOTE]
