From the past few weeks, I've been on and off having issues with sound on Linux Mint 20.2. HDMI audio works fine but Headphones don't. Sometimes if I mute and unmute the Headphones a couple of times(hearing a tick in the headphones while doing so), I first hear a crackling sound and then audio starts working. Now even that "workaround" isn't working. I've searched a lot about this on the internet and tried numerous things to no avail. Tried different Kernels but that also didn't work. The motherboard has 8 rear outputs, 1 rear input and 1 front input along with a front output as well. The model is a Realtek ALC892.
