OS X does not allow me to adjust the volume.
As happened to Brooke a few years ago, and a number of other people on the web, I can no longer adjust volume on my Macbook. Boo. :(
One day while leaving the office, I unplugged my headphones, unplugged my Thunderbolt display, and put my computer to sleep - not necessarily in that order. When I got back to my house, I was prevented by the OS from adjusting my volume:
There are two devices available to me when I have the display plugged in:
It does not matter which I choose. When the display isn't plugged in, the display audio device is not an option.
I could still adjust the volume level through the Sound preferences pane, just not the volume keys.
Suggestions on the previously-linked answer and elsewhere on the web have included poking the headphone jack repeatedly with a toothpick. Unfortunately, after I tried this, I now have no sound at all, except, strangely enough, the volume-changing "plick" when I move the slider in the preferences pane.
I have to say I'm at a bit of a loss. Suggestions?
Questa è una buona domanda?

So, I'm embarrassed to say this, but, uh... I rebooted the computer and it started working again.
You can now all line up to slap me for neglecting the first rule of repair - turn it off and on again.

that was hilarious but also very very helpful, because I myself didn't think to try that until I just read it ...lol so thank you for that.

sorry to say, rebooting didn't work for me. It says that it is connected to my bluetooth headphones but is coming out of the speakers and I can't control the volume in preferences or with the keyboard...
