Hello there!
I have an ASUS H470-I motherboard. So I’ve tried to catch a sound from analog/audio type-c (works nice in win10-11), but it seems like in all GNU/Linux it works unexpectedly.
When earphones connected to standart “green” 3,5mm port (or front) - it’s okay, all work fine and in the setting appears option “Line Out”.
But when plug-in only type-c - only one option appears - “Digital output S/PDIF”. I presume, as in win1X, that type-c also may appear as “Line Out”. Maybe there is some loop from green 3,5mm to audio type-c, cause when smthing is plugged-in to green 3,5mm i can choose in audio settings instead of Line out - Headphones, and yes, there is a music on type-c. But when 3,5 is free again - magic is gone.
What I need to do to get rid of that dummy plug (some 3,5-to-3,5 cable) in 3,5mm (back or forward) in order to work audio type-c separately? Or should i just… live with it? 
P.S. Why it is so important to me? Cable of earphones is too short, and this “extension analog type-c cable” was in the box, so i found this very convinient to use.
Thank you!
P.P.S. There is some code beneath, seen this in some other themes about audio.
