No headphone jack detection (ASUS Zephyrus)

[pcgamez]

Hi there

I have a Zephyrus GU502 with two jacks, one is Mic and the other is Headphone/Mic dual jack. Netiher port detects my headphones and they don't work when plugged in. The internal speaker works fine. When messing around with hdajackretask I was able to get the headphones to work on the mic port but it disabled the internal speaker. I've also switched to the latest kernal as there was a fix for the Realtek ALC256 but this didn't make a difference. Here are some outputs:

Appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi pcgamez, and welcome to the forum.

The Headphone or Headset port isn't getting detected according to those outputs. Let's see the output of dmesg | grep snd

You could try this to see if it helps fix that:

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio linux-sound-base libasound2

Reboot when done then see if dmesg | grep snd shows hp_outs=1

Good luck.

[pcgamez]

Thanks for your reply. I reinstalled and rebooted, unfortunately no change. Here's the output:

Darn!

Any chance you have Windows on that machine? If so, boot to Windows and verify sound is working there. Also disable fast startup if it's enabled while you're there. Then completely power down, don't reboot. Wait a couple of minutes then power up into Mint and see if things have improved.

If that made no difference, check your sound settings in the BIOS. Some people have luck disabling it for one boot then re-enabling on the next boot to get Linux to see things properly.

[pcgamez]

I do have dual boot Windows, however I've already disabled fast boot and sound does work as expected in Windows. I tried disabling the sound card in the BIOS and re-enabling after a boot cycle to no avail.

Do you think this kernel patch needs to be extended to support my device? https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/2019 ... lessm.com/

[MrEen]

That patch already applies to your system. The diff shows it was adding ALC256 to the list:

Code: Select all

 	ALC225_FIXUP_WYSE_AUTO_MUTE,
 	ALC225_FIXUP_WYSE_DISABLE_MIC_VREF,
 	ALC286_FIXUP_ACER_AIO_HEADSET_MIC,
+	ALC256_FIXUP_ASUS_HEADSET_MIC,
 	ALC256_FIXUP_ASUS_MIC_NO_PRESENCE,
 	ALC299_FIXUP_PREDATOR_SPK,
 	ALC294_FIXUP_ASUS_INTSPK_HEADSET_MIC,

I don't know how much you played with hdajackretask, but I think at the moment it might be your best shot. Make sure you're only trying to change "Not connected" pins (after checking the box for Show unconnected pins) to Headphone. Also, only use the Headset port while trying this.

I'll try to come up with other ideas in the meantime.

[pcgamez]

I basically tried every option in hdajackretask, the non-advanced override options only let me select two of the pins as the headphone jack - one being pin 0x15 and the other 0x21 which doesn't work on the headphone port (though it changes the icon in pulseaudio to a headphone).

I also didn't have any luck using the advanced override though I wasn't sure if I was doing it entirely correctly. The only time the headphones worked was when I put the headphones into the mic jack after changing 2 of the pins

Screenshot of hdajackretask - https://imgur.com/a/tOcPHfK

[MrEen]

That screenshot shows that you changed the speaker pin, 0x17 to headphone as well.

Let's try something different. In hdajackretask click on Remove boot override in case you ever clicked on Install boot override to undo the change.

Now, in the terminal, enter xed admin:///etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and when the file opens scroll to the bottom and add this new line:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi

Don't worry about it saying dell. Save and close the file, ignore the warnings from the terminal, then reboot and see if you now have a headset option.

[pcgamez]

I appreciate your continued support! I followed your instructions but unfortunately nothing changed. I then rebooted with pulseaudio disabled (to use alsa as described here) and I can see the volume for headphones however I don't get any sound output at all (either speaker or headphone)

Screenshot of alsa mixer https://imgur.com/a/2Q132gA

[MrEen]

That's great! Your Master column is muted. Just press the m key while that column is active to unmute, and hopefully your sound will start working.

EDIT: I don't see a speaker column there. I'm thinking that's still using the change from hdajackretask.

[pcgamez]

Ah I thought we might be there but whilst I could increase the volume on master and get sound from the internal speaker, the headphones still didn't change even when increasing headphone volume.

I tried deleting the pulseaudio config etc, fairly sure that isn't the reason internal speaking isn't showing as in the Sound panel I get "Speakers Built-in Audio" displayed and nothing else

[MrEen]

Ahh, that Headphone column is actually headphone mic boost. This is almost definitely an issue with proper card detection.

Let's see if this helps. In the terminal enter xed admin:///etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and when the file opens scroll to the bottom and add this new line:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1

Save and close the file, ignore the warnings from the terminal then reboot and test your sound. If that breaks your sound, retry the above with probe_mask=8

I'm hoping that might help.

[pcgamez]

No change whatsoever! On probe_mask=1 the sound is exactly the same as before. With =8 it just stops working and shows dummy output

I'm really curious if it would work with another distro or if it's just this laptop

[MrEen]

I'm thinking your system might still be a bit too new to have proper support.

But we can still try a few more things. In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, instead of dell-headset-multi, or probe_mask try this instead:

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=headset-mode

Save, reboot, test again.

Here's the full list of quirks for your card if you want to try other things as well:

Yeah it does seem that way. I tested headset-mode and various others to no avail, but I may work through the list and just see.

Once I figure this out I need to get to work on power management as it's not stretching far right now! One step at a time

Hi everyone, i just googled this forum))
Recently I bought new Asus ROG Zephyrus M GU502GV-AZ070 laptop and faced same problem.
I have dual boot on my machine along with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.
tried a lot of thing recommended in the internet, tried playing with alsamixer, override pins, pulseaudio, tried to install Ubuntu 20.04, tried different versions of kernel (latest for 4.*, 5*), checked BIOS, tried cold boot/reboot, than just install Ubuntu as single OS on my drive - no sense((( On Windows everything is fine, but on Ubuntu only my speakers are working. I'm using linux system for my job as a developer and having headphones is very crucial for me.
So, I wanted to find out, pcgamez, maybe some solution worked for you if any?

I have the exact same ASUS ROG Zephyrus M GU502GV and have the exact same problem. Dual booting windows and Manjaro. Similar to you guys, im unable to get detection for headphones. Speaker works fine tho. Any one manage to find a solution?

some issues are harder to fix than others,
and so if this Topic was not able to resolve the sound issue:
- - then it would be advisable, to start a New Topic, so that your own issue, can be addressed, if possible.

[pcgamez]

Just to update this thread -- This issue is still unresolved and as far as I can tell it is the same across all Ubuntu based (probably all linux) distros. I have switched to Pop OS on Ubuntu 20 and the issue is still present.

Solutions are A) use Bluetooth headphones B) purchase an external audio interface (one that is known to work on linux of course)

On a separate issue, perhaps relevant to owners of the same machine, switching to Pop OS with Ubuntu 20 fixed my issues with the USB-C > Displayport for second monitor compatibility in case you're having issues on Mint.

If you know how to compile the kernel yourself, Takashi Iwai has created a patch you can grab on the last post of this bug report. I suspect it will work, though no one has tested it yet.
