I have the cMP 5,1 attached to a Late 2009 27-inch iMac for display. I just want the audio to go to the iMac via the display port connection and it won't output the audio; the speaker icon in the menu bar is greyed out. It's output is set to 'Color LCD Display' (iMac)

The Optical Audio Out toslink port is stuck. The red light is on and I have tried blowing compressed air into it, q-tips, to no avail in getting it to trip off and switch off.

I'm not sure what to do. Maybe its damaged.

Im hoping someone can suggest some options on what else I can do to trip it off (turn it off) or how else I can send the audio to the iMac - I don't want to use the internal speaker (although at least it works despite the audio out port being stuck)

Mine is stuck too, same as yours, red light on. Looked up every tutorial on how to fix the issue and nothing worked…
