Mid 2009 MBP 13” S/PDIF, yes or no?

Purpose: Hi-Fi audio catalog and playback computer

Problem: This computer is 100% outfitted with a headphone jack that is also mini S/PDIF optical audio output capable. I cleaned it, I exercised it, I’ve tried everything SMCP blah blah and still I can get the damn thing to recognize its “digital audio out” function. No red light, nothin. Headphones work fine.

It’s bugging me to no end for some reason. Even sillier, I’m using a USB DAC which I am sure sounds better anyway. Just looking for some commiseration and answers if possible.
