There is a problem with my Macbook Pro. The Audio port constantly flickers red (it's finding an optical connection) and interrupts my audio.

  • OMG all you people thats just a optical-out!!!!!!

  • @coolfly005 No it's not. It's a combo-port.

  • For those who are looking for help: After a couple of weeks this problem went away for me. Just keep plugging in and taking out and the audio port will be "educated", if you will, to know that it's not seeing what it thinks its seeing.

  • I can't even listen to this video because my optical out keeps activating.

  • when the light is on....the speakers are off, mine worked fine for a couple of years so it's not about "educating" the port...unless mine is in regression.

  • stick a toothpick in the port

  • why is steve jobs such a fucking dic wad. this shiit has been happening since 2006 wtf.

  • @Shanesan well yes... its an audio out port that can be used both with standard 3.5" connectors and with a TOSLINK cable....

  • @Billmister, hey could you help me, i got my first macbook pro i5 and i have this problem. every time i connect my headphones in, it takes 2 sec or 3 to change from speakers to the headphones and vice versa! please help

  • digital audio man... digital audio TOSLINK

  • instead of spend time on what triggered it, you have applecare, having a new logic board will surely fix that issue. And regarding calling you out on Apple Products, i'm really sure you don't want to make that assumption. As for Mr. Macintosh Expert, u are correct, how did you know my position? Maybe you didn't know, apple store now have "expert positions". If you would like, it would be a pleasure 2 talk about apple products (ALL) and i can almost guarantee u i know more than a typical person.
