So I have a MacBook Pro and on the top level of keys (F3,F4,F5) there are the volume controls. I keep trying to change the volume and when i do a thing comes up with a circle with a line through it and it won't let me change the volume. I've gone into system preferences, sound, and then to output and it says digital out - built in output. I haven't changed anything except use headphones but I never changed anything in the system preferences. How do I fix this?

sounds like the jack thinks something is plugged in; try plugging & the headphones (maybe a few times?), see if that 'fixes' it. it should not be on 'digital out' if you're playing back thru the internal speakers...

Old thread, but FYI, your optical digital out was somehow triggered. In that event, the level adjustment is disabled.

Check the Audio MIDI Setup app in the Utilities folder to see if the output is something other than what it should be.
