So I got my mac pro today. After setting it up I've run into my my first problem. I ve plugged my external speakers into the mac on the back and there is no sound coming out of the speakers. However, If I plug the speakers into the from audio out jack I get sound. Checking above the audio out jack in the back the digital audio plug (above it) glows red. Did I get a damaged mac?

Any solution to fix this problem?

Thanks again for the information - its just embarrassing. I really like my machine so far - right now I'm in that state of "don't anyone bother me " Im transferring data.


If it wasn't for that one dead pixel on my cinema display it would have been a perfect day....


But thats another story. Thanks again

Pixel, shmixel. I'm so jealous. I'm still waiting for mine. I got a 30'' Dell waiting for it. They sure take their time with the BTOs.
