Ghost headphone after update

Support

1

Hi, after a recent update, my laptop shows that headphones are connected even when they aren’t. To play sound from the speaker, I have to manually switch output to the speaker. Same for the audio input.

Tried pulseaudio -k and systemctl --user restart pulseaudio with reboot, doesn’t work.

Some usefull outputs:

The last one looks particularly interesting as you can clearly see the 2 input devices along with some errors.

Blacklisting the snd_rn_pci_acp3x driver using,
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf <<< 'blacklist snd_rn_pci_acp3x'
solved the problem for me.

Will it affect my sound quality? Is there any fix for the driver rather than just blacklisting it?

On AMD Renoir systems there is a digital microphone (dmic) connected to the APU instead of the audio codec. Support for the dmic Audio Co-Processor (acp) was added from kernel v5.8, but some of the Linux audio packages do not support it yet

Packages for alsa-lib, alsa-ucm-conf and alsa-mixer-paths have been patched and should be updated soon. If a pulseaudio update is required it might take a bit longer because PulseAudio v14.0 is long overdue for release

Audio capture only works from analog input
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC255 Analog [ALC255 Analog]
Multichannel input does not work
card 2: acp [acp], device 0: DMIC capture dmic-hifi-0 []
and may be causing the problem with headset jack detection

Blacklisting the acp device will not affect or impair sound quality for audio playback

Microphone audio may sound better when dmic is supported. But the additional digital microphone(s) is to allow Cortana to hear everything in the room, so audio capture may have less background noise rejection

IMO 2 tiny laptop microphones is not likely to sound much better than 1

Hey thank you for the detailed response, I somewhat understood the problem now, thank you!

Is there any other course of action that you would suggest?
