Headphones not functional on reboot until unplugged and re-plugged

Hi,

Have been away for a week, came back to a lot of package updates. All is good after the updates except for one thing - when I reboot my computer I have to unplug my headphones then plug them back info them to work.

The headphones in question appear as Headphones (Family 17h (Models 10h-1fh) HD Audio Controller Analog Stereo) in the list, if that helps.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!

Do you set the device as the default one in the audio settings?

Hi - yep, they’re usually the default, but they don’t appear in the list at all now until I unplug and re-plug them

Do you have the same command output as you pasted above, when you run the command before unplugging/replugging the device? Maybe reboot and compare (or post here) the inxi command output?

please post the response to this command

amixer -c0

to show audio settings in ALSA for onboard audio device

Thanks for taking a look :slight_smile:

I’ll grab the output of both again when I next reboot and post it here.

This may be the cause of your problem

Simple mixer control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Disabled' 'Enabled'
  Item0: 'Enabled'

Auto-mute is useful on a laptop for muting built-in speakers when headphones are plugged in
but on a desktop system, or if headphones are left plugged in a user would usually not want anything muted

to change the setting to disabled, use this command

amixer --card=0 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled

then check in amixer -c0 again to see if both 'Headphone' and 'Front' are still [on]

and finally, save ALSA settings so it remains disabled when system is booted

sudo alsactl store

When auto-mute is disabled in ALSA, Pulseaudio will show both output ports but will not show if they are plugged-in or unplugged

Hi, just rebooted my computer & ran the two diagnostic info commands, then the commands to disable auto mute, then the diagnostics again. Sound still did not work after doing this:
