Hello, I've just brought a MacBook Pro 8,1 to life with an SSD. It works great but unfortunately no sound. There is no output listed in sound window. I tried cmd+opt+P+R without success. Would replacing the speaker assembly solve the problem or is this a hardware problem? Thanx
PS- I also restarted cord...something in processes that didn't work either.
