Sound from speakers no sound from 3.5mm jack-audio

Support Sound
1

The Issue:

Speakers working, plug in the head phones, they are recognized, the notebook switches automatically to them but no sound.

If the headphones have an incorporated microphone, the microphone does not work.

What i tried:

  • alsamixer (Headphones seen as plugged in but no sound)
  • pulseaudio -k and then reboot
  • different headphones both with mic incorporated and without

Side note: bluetooth headset Aukey perfectly seen and working.

Try the second jack audio package and see if that helps

3

Do you mean jack2 1.9.14-1?

Do I have to uninstall something before installing it?

4

Yes you have to uninstall the previous package of the jack
Any way it is just a suggestion but
Keep an installation media handy

Same problem on Asus ROG GL703GM after the last update.

Sound from speakers no sound from jack-audio

I am confused. By “jack-audio”, do you mean the 3.5mm plug on your laptop, or do you mean that you’re trying to use JACK Audio the sound server daemon?

If it’s the latter, did you follow all the steps in the Arch wiki link in my top sentence?

7

I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant the 3.5mm plug on my laptop.

I tried using Kernel 5.7 and the issue still persists.

8

Same problem with Lenovo E595
I have tried many distros, many kernels and ended up on Manjaro - KDE.
Once audio over headphones somehow started to work randomly on OpenSuse - KDE Tumbleweed, but after reinstall it was not working so I could not find any consistent steps how to get this work.
I can see that headphones are somehow detected because once I plug them in in audio control Internal Microphone is switched to Microphone and back after unplug.

please get ALSA information

and post link to data uploaded to alsa-project

also please post respone to

Issue confirmed also with Kernel 5.8.1

amixer -c1 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' 'Disabled'

see if that helps.

12

I have tried but unfortunately did not work.

13

hi,
i also have a cannon point audio interface and struggled with it in the beginning. here is how i made it work:

  1. be sure to run a kernel >= 5.6
  2. be sure that sof-firmware is installed
  3. you can disable the detection of the digital mic using either a kernel parameter or by creating an alsa config file in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. Be sure to not do any of these!
  4. install pulseaudio-git from the aur.
  5. run:
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable pulseaudio pulseaudio.socket
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio pulseaudio.socket
  1. reboot

Still not working.
Check image
As you can see it shows the output device. It even shows output is being sent. But, no audio from the headphones.

15

strange…
in order to see whether everything has worked correctly otherwise, could you please post another inxi -Fxxxz?
and maybe its worth trying it on the 5.7 kernel?

I did try with both 5.7 & 5.8

Hi!

I tried your suggestion but nothing happened :frowning:

18

ok, i see… you do not seem to be the original poster, correct? at least the sound device you use (Intel CM238 HD) is different than what the original post was about ( Intel Cannon Lake PCH cAVS).

in any case, my solution works in case the device needs the sof-firmware. if it does and all the package is installed and the device is not forced to use the snd_hda_intel via some kernel or alsa settings, the driver should show up as driver: sof-audio-pci.

19

A strange thing happened.
Suddenly my audio and headphones started to work even with plug/unplug detection so I did new fresh install and it is not working again.
Here’s my output alsa-info.sh --upload from not working and working environments
Not working: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=3ba93e1f934d1d4ac5ee318af0f91835a43f6010
Working: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=d675d04e794efd4b310fbf044320fa7686532483
I do not know if this would be helpful to compare what is happening there, but still there is no consistent solution for this.

I found out that this problem is caused by small changes in the file “patch_realtek.c” in kernel 5.7.10, this change has been applied to all LTS and Stable versions of the kernel. The previous stable update from 2020-07-19 was on version 5.7.9, so with the next update from 2020-08-16, the sound disappeared. It is not clear why these changes broke the audio on the 3.5 jack port. The problem has been seen on ASUS GL703GM, GL703GE, GU502GW, GL503VM and GL503VD notebooks (all from this forum).

I found as many as four ways to solve this problem:

Way one (simple but crooked): paste this line “options snd-hda-intel model=headset-mode” into file “/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf” then SHUTDOWN the system, DO NOT reboot. Then turn on the system and the sound should appear, but the microphone in the headphones will probably no longer work.

Way two: install (or compile) kernel 5.7.9. The sound will work as before.

Way three: compile any fresh kernel with this patch. This patch is made for my GL703GM model with ALC295 audio chip, if you have the same audio chip you can change the values ​​"0x1043, 0x1011" according to the values ​​"SubVendor, SubDevice" from the “hwinfo --sound” command.

Way four (best): compile any fresh kernel with this patch. This patch undoes the problematic changes in the code and your sound will work as on the 5.7.9 kernel.
