Macbook internal speakers not working
All of a sudden - my internal speakers are not being recognized in the system preferences and the only way I can get sound is if I plug my speakers into the headphone jack. The speaker jack doesn't work either....this all happened at once. The red light of DOOM is on in the headphone jack unless I plug my speakers into it.
I have a MacBook. It is only about 5 months old.
I am fairly computer literate but, can't figure out this one. Have done some searching online and can't seem to find much of a fix for this.
1) I want my computer to recognize its own internal speakers when I don't have anything plugged in.
2) Why is it that now I can only get sound if I plug the external speakers into the headphone jack which, consequently I have only used AS a headphone jack once several months ago.
Help?

Don't know if this will help or not, but this is what a normal Sound Preferences panel looks like.
Especially make sure 'Mute' is not ticked.
Edit.. I've tried to post an image, but how the @#$%^&&* do you do it

You have to link to an external image on flickr.com or photobucket.com or something like that.
