Users of the Mac believe that many have encountered the internal failure of the speaker, do not know that there is no careful user will find a Mac with the horn failure and the headphone hole will light up the red light, as shown in the following picture, that Mac headset Kong Liang red light is what reason? The following small series for everyone to bring Mac headset Kong Liang red light, At the same time the speaker has no sound solution.

To solve this problem, first of all, divided into two cases, whether there is a dual system.
