The headphone jack on my MacBook Pro stopped working. It was working fine, then just spontaneously stopped while I was using external speakers plugged into the output jack. Now, neither speakers nor 3 different headphones have sound. The internal speaker on my MacBook Pro still works.

I've had similar issues and restarting coreaudio work for me. Run this in a terminal (you might be prompted for your password).
If your curious
sudo
is something used to run commands as administrator (SU-DO as in super user do) andpkill
sends signals to processes based on name, in this casecoreaudiod
, which is the name of the coreaudio daemon process. When it gets a terminate signal sent by pkill it will terminate and then macOS will restart it again.
