[SOLVED] No headphones option in output devices

Post by emes12 »

Long story short,my laptops speakers do not work,and the only way i can have sound is via my headphones
(although the headphones port also malfunctions).

In both mate and xfce desktop i had this option

This shows the tab output.
This, however, input tab. Can you show output tab on Cinnamon?

I had similar problem, too. I fixed itself after instaling one of the updates.
When you want to use your headphones, go to the sound settings and plug headphones in. Then you can choose them as sound output device.

It is the output tab,you can read it top left,it is the right category but the language is in greek. Down right,It says analog stereo input for some reason
but if you click Speaker-Build in Audio it changes to analog stereo output,but it doesn't detect any headphones. The only option in both input and output
is Speakers - Built-in Audio

Anyway,i downloaded QasMixer and i can turn up the headphones volume from there so,problem solved! Thanks for replying
though :)
