The 13" MacBook Pros have only 1 audio jack, for both audio input and output, and you can chose between these 2 from the audio preferences.

Rapidly change audio port function on MacBooks
This somewhat works on my early-2008 Mac Pro as well. Don't think the hidden menu is limited to just portables, but what it contains would understandably vary. Edited on Nov 09, '11 07:42:25AM by peelman
Rapidly change audio port function on MacBooks
Nice handy hint, but personally I find the SoundSource menu from Rogue Amoeba to be better. You just click on it, and you have output and input volumes, device choices, and some handy preference pane launcher links too.
Rapidly change audio port function on MacBooks
yes, this shortcut works on all Mac models... I use this on my Mac Pro to switch between my computer speakers, and the Digital output to my stereo. (when I want even better sound, or am watching things like web content on the TV also connected to said Mac Pro)

Great hint! I didn't know this for years. Thanks!

A better fix would be to pressure Apple to abandon this two-in-one idea. I have headphones with plugs on them. I have mikes with plugs on them. Why should I just have one plug to use when I need to plug both of them in, as when making a Skype call. My computer should fit the way I work and not vice-versa. |
