No sound through Mac speakers
This happened today when at work I plugged in an external speakers jack, speakers were playing, everything was OK. But after I took the jack off, I couldn't hear any sound from the Mac speakers. It seems like disabled. So now I only can listen music through headphones or external speakers but not Mac speakers.
Here are a few screenshots:

If you had a similar situation or you know how to solve this, please do not
hesitate and help me ;)
BTW, I've tried to repair permissions and restart the Mac (a few times), this didn't help.

This happens when your Mac thinks that a mini-TOSLINK device is plugged into the jack. (If you look, you'll be able to see a glowing red light inside). The volume can't be adjusted by the computer with digital audio, which is why you are unable to adjust it. If a restart doesn't help, it could be that there is excessive dust or dirt inside the speaker jack. Try cleaning it out with some compressed air; it's helped me many times in the past.
