Hey guys, my volume broke.  I use a mac (please no debates) and when I try to change the volume the little icon is gray and underneath the volume bar this the circle with a slash through it symbol.  It works fine when I plug my headphones in, but as soon as I unplug them I get the aforementioned problem.

Does anyone have any knowledge on the situation?

And please no mac vs pc debates, I just want to fix my computer.

Congrats you're "that guy"
My internal speakers breaking has nothing to do with the fact that it's a PC or a Mac.

Grape juice on apples doesn't work at all. Try apple juice or cider.
