No startup chime/audio greyed out on late 2009 Mac mini?
On my late 2009 Mac mini (Lion 10.7.4) the audio is randomly greyed out without any startup chime. In System Preferences/Sound/Output, no audio output device is shown.
What could be the problem?
Is this a good question?

Has the unit ever been operated on?

Yes.
Just wondering. Could it be related to overheating?

This doesn't seem like it would be related to overheating.

I’m having the same issue with my late 2009 Mac Mini, which is on the last officially supported OS, MacOS X 10.11.6. I have another more upgraded one that isn’t slow that does have audio, but isn’t booting.
