Introduction
For anyone who has a Macbook / Pro with the red light stuck coming out of the headphone port and no sound!
On investigating the issue on my mac I discovered the issue was due to a poorly soldered pin on the headphone jack who’s solder joint was already pretty poor and had become disconnected over time. This meant that more often than not, it was triggering the optical out red light and preventing sound from my internal speakers.

This guide is for anyone for who has tried inserting something into their headphone port but this is not working or not fixing the audio consistently. As such this guide is for people who have ruled out debris in the headphone jack or a faulty sensor down the jack hole.
Not recommended if your Mac is in warranty.
Requires minor soldering.
