I stumbled on this blog after searching for a way to solve this problem - I didn't have a toothpick handy, but the end of a lollipop stick worked beautifully. You made my day. Thank you so much!!!

They really should put a software reset somewhere in the OS. Awesome thanks, this was really bugging me. They really should put a software reset somewhere in the OS.

I just wiggled the toothpick inside and after a few seconds it stopped shining red. Thanks Marco Hi Andrew,

All that I did was put the toothpick from my Swiss army knife into the audio port and wiggled it around for a few seconds. The sensor inside the port is there to try and work out whether the jack that's put into the port is normal line out or optical out. In my case, it assumed that there was an optical out jack plugged in and it didn't believe my protests until I broke out the bloody toothpick... Good luck Hi Marco,
