MacMini (Intel Core 2 Duo): no sound -- "no output devices found"

argelius

I've searched through the forums and found several (older) posts about this), but didn't really come across any solutions. Here's my story:



MacMini had OSX reinstalled (to wipe hard drive).

All Updates (firmware, software, etc) have been installed.

There is no start-up chime.

In System Preferences> Sound, it says "no output devices found".

The volume slider is greyed-out.



I've tried:

Resetting PRAM

Checking/repairing permissions

Unplugging everything for a while then restarting

Launching Garage Band (get the error: CoreAudio: Selected Driver not found (-10202)



Still... no sound.



I know this computer used to hae sound -- before I reinstalled OSX (Tiger).



Is this fixable, or does it (gasp) need to be physically serviced?

Excellent Suggestion -- reseting the System Management Controller did it!



Thanks!
