Headphone jack not recognized when plugged in

[Cirelli94]

I’m going to create another post about headphone jack not recognized by Manjaro.
There are many like this, but this is mine.

When I plug my headphones, nothing happen and I can’t use them.
If I login (not reboot, just logout/login) with them already plugged, they works smoothly.
I recently find out that if I do pulseaudio -k they are recognized and I don’t need to relogin again!

I already tried to clear PulseAudio user configuration deleting of the cookie and the database files:
rm ~/.config/pulse/cookie ~/.config/pulse/*.tdb
but it solves nothing.

Thank you very much for anyone helping with these!

@Cirelli94

Sound Server-3: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes
Sound Server-4: PipeWire v: 0.3.40 running: yes

Only keep one of them running.

As explained by @nikgnomic Pipewire can be disabled to continue using PulseAudio. Use this command to stop, disable and mask Pipewire services:

systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket pipewire.service && systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket

Alternatively, all Pipewire packages are needed to replace PulseAudio, which can be installed with this command:

pamac install manjaro-pipewire

and only Pipewire would be shown on the system.

Also worth reading:

Can anyone explain to me like a 7 years old what Pipewire, PulseAudio, ALSA, JACK is?

It might be easiest to describe things in terms of lineage; For pipewire: " PipeWire is a new low-level multimedia framework. It aims to offer capture and playback for both audio and video with minimal latency and support for PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA and GStreamer-based applications. " So pipewire will run on top of puleaudio or alsa, or jack, or any other ‘software you use to configure and play sound, etc’. Similarly Pulseaudio runs on top of ALSA, but some people prefer to remove pulseaudio …

So if one wanted to use Pipewire?

Did you install pipewire-pulse and pipewire-jack? You may also need lib32-pipewire for 32-bit games. See PipeWire - ArchWiki

[Cirelli94]

Thanks @Wollie !!!
I’d like to use only pipewire!
I installed it manually thinking I removed pulseaudio but probably something went bad.

I rebooted after removed pulseaudio and installed manjaro-pipewire but now KDE do not see audio settings in system tray anymore…
I installed xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde of course…

Still investigating

PS:
now inxi says:

[Wollie]

Is plasma-pa installed?

Another package which could be helpful is pavucontrol.

I have to admit I did not test it as I stay on PulseAudio.

[Cirelli94]

Oh thanks!
Now Plasma has its audio applet, thanks!

But I still have the problem with headphone not recognized…

[Wollie]

Have you tried other kernels, e.g. 5.10 or 5.15?

[Cirelli94]

I updated to 5.15 and tried last LTS 5.10 too but no success unfortunately

I just tried a live of Fedora KDE 34 and Fedora Workstation 35 and I have the same problem there!

I always need to do ‘systemctl --user restart pipewire.service pipewire-pulse.socket’.
