@apzpins@some.apz.fi I vaguely remember the Apple devices of this era having a really turbo funky 1/8" jack where it's TRS for stereo audio out but might also be TRRS for headsets-- but either way it can also accept a flavor of TOSLINK connector that has no square surround and just inserts there. It's really funky when the driver gets confused and starts turning on the optical transmitter when it's not warranted to do so... you get a weird little red pinspot shining out the jack!

    @vxo@digipres.club I've seen several MBP's that did that. Always caused "there's a red light shining out of the headser jack!" Stickets.
