[SOLVED] Headphone jack detected - LMDE 4

[feganegg]

Fresh install and everything is working beautifully apart from my 3.5 mm headphone jack.Tried multiple options but just can't seem to get it fixed.

When i got to sound settings there is no device for headphones. See image.

Would really love to know where to get started and truly appreciate any help given.

Hi feganegg,

Let's see the output of pacmd list-cards and dmesg | grep snd please.

Thank you so much for having a look at this!

Here's your issue:

Do you dual boot with Windows? If so, Windows may not have shut down the card properly. Boot to Windows and ensure Fast Startup is turned off then shut down, don't reboot. Wait 2 minutes then power up into Mint, and hopefully the card will be properly detected.

If that's not the case, let's see the output of sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

[feganegg]

I was dual booting then lost the plot with windows and did a completely fresh LMDE install. Only thing the ssd drive is Mint and another partition for home.

[MrEen]

Okay, try reinstalling the sound base with this:

Code: Select all

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

Finsish by shutting down. Don't reboot here. Wait 2 minutes then boot up and test the card. You can simple run pacmd list-cards and look for those lines I pasted. Hopefully they'll available: yes, then you should be all good.

[feganegg]

When I run that i get

Code: Select all

E: Unable to locate package linux-sound-base

and here is the result of sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

Code: Select all

I had already removed one of the packages that I knew the Debian base wouldn't have, now you've shown me another. What I'm saying is don't worry about the error, it's meaningless in this case.

I'm nervous this command wont work either, but give it a shot:

Code: Select all

sudo alsa force-reload

[feganegg]

Comes back with

Code: Select all

sudo: alsa: command not found

I'm really eager to learn more about linux so i'm guessing this is a great opportunity.

[MrEen]

Comes back with

Code: Select all

sudo: alsa: command not found

I'm really eager to learn more about linux so i'm guessing this is a great opportunity.

I was afraid of that. I just tried looking at the Debian forum to find out how to do this, and it's down right now. I don't know why this has to be different than almost every other Linux OS. It might be the way sudo works on Debian, but I'm not sure. As a test, run sudo su and it should ask for your password, then run alsa force-reload. Finish with exit. I'll try to find more help with Debian in the meantime.

[feganegg]

I really appreciate you help with this so far. This is what it returned.

Code: Select all

root@lt:/home/damien# alsa force-reload

Command 'alsa' not found, did you mean:

  command 'atsa' from deb csound-utils
  command 'salsa' from deb devscripts
  command 'als' from deb atool
  command 'balsa' from deb balsa
  command 'alfa' from deb alfa

Try: apt install <deb name>

I've only fairly recently switched to mint and I could switch to 19.5 instead of LMDE if that would solve it. I partitioned the disk on install so that my home folders are on a separate partition just in case i needed to do something like this.

[MrEen]

I'm not certain it will solve the issue, but at least I know my troubleshooting steps will work with 19.3. Something is just really strange about the way Debian handles alsa. Unless it's something funky with LMDE itself, but I can't really say.

It is possible things will work right away, and if that's the case, it's also possible simply reinstalling LMDE might also fix it. Just want to keep your options more open.

One last thing before any reinstalling attempts though, run this and paste the output:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999

That'll have a URL on the last line pointing to a rather thorough listing of your sound setup. Maybe I'll spot something hinky there.

[MrEen]

So far, I've not really seen an issue in that output, although it shows no headphones were plugged in when you ran that. If that was not the case, install alsa-tools then run sudo hdajacksensetest -a once with headphones plugged in and again with them unplugged and paste the output of both here. Here I'm checking to see if you have reverse jack detection, or jack detection failure.

I'll continue reading to see if I find anything else.

Okay, it still shows headphones as unavailable. I'm suspecting a jack detection issue. Does the jack have 2 black rings on it or 3? Is there a microphone attatched to it?

[MrEen]

This might work for you. In the terminal run alsamixer. Arrow over to the Auto-Mute Mode column then press the down arrow until it says Disabled. Then test the headphones.

[feganegg]

The headphone jack has 3 black circles.

The alsamixer did not work. But when i go in it only shows master and the option to arrow over is not there. I have to hit F6 and then select the soundcard to get the extra volumes/options up, if that helps.

Another Debian quirk it seems, alsamixer -c0 should be the same as alsamixer but it appears it's not for you.

Okay, let's try a whole new direction. Run this then reboot:

Code: Select all

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/headset-fix.conf <<<'options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi'

That will hopefully give you a Headset option, along with the Headphone option it isn't cooperating with. Don't worry about the Dell name in that fix. It applies to any machine with your codec.
