I'd just installed Mint 20 MATE 64-bit on a Dell Inspiron 15 3000, dual boot along side of Windows 10. The headphones work fine in Windows and my tablet. I tried playing Pandora through Firefox, which had worked when I played it through the USB Live. Then I tried Rhythmbox. Neither worked through headphones, though the speakers worked fine. I also had no system sounds through Pidgin or Thunderbird or anything else.
I read an article that suggested installing pavocontrol (sp?) and tried that and suddenly I had sound! Then, after rebooting, no sound again. I fiddled with the Sound and PulseAudio Volume Control to no avail.
Would anyone be so kind as to tell this Mint newbie how I can get my sound back? Thanks for your help.

Re: No sound through headphones
It might be as simple as adjusting your sound settings. Go to Menu. Under Applications, choose Sound & Video and then Sound. I've experienced no sound when the incorrect settings were selected.

Re: No sound through headphones
Thanks, but no go. I'd tried that, plus the PulseAudio Volume Control. Everything was enabled and appeared to be working, just no sound.

Re: No sound through headphones
Hi wayfarer51, and welcome to the forum.
Play a song or video with the headphones plugged in and run
Those should give us a clue.
Play a song or video with the headphones plugged in and run
pacmd list-sinks in the terminal. Paste that output, along with the output of pacmd list-cards and dmesg | grep sndThose should give us a clue.

Re: No sound through headphones
OK, MrEen, done and done. I'm glad you can interpret all of this. I've been hanging out in Windows so I can listen to music while I fool around on the laptop when what I'd really like is to be fixing up Mint to suit me.
Thanks so much!

Re: No sound through headphones
This is a tricky one. First, in the terminal run
I'm doubting that's going to fix this, but your outputs look so good otherwise. There isn't a switch or volume control on the headphones, is there?
Also, if this is a dual boot with Windows, boot to Windows and ensure Fast Startup is turned off then shutdown, don't reboot. Wait 2 minutes then power up into Mint and see if the headphones work.
alsamixer. Arrow over to the Headphone Mic column, then press the m key to mute it. Muted columns show MM at the bottom.I'm doubting that's going to fix this, but your outputs look so good otherwise. There isn't a switch or volume control on the headphones, is there?

Re: No sound through headphones
I ran alsamixer and cursored to the headphones column. Pressing "M" so it read "MM", exiting alsamixer, rebooting back into Mint: no sound from headphones. There was no apparent change to the alsamixer screen after unmuting headphones either.
This is a dual boot with Windows 10, so I checked Fast Startup and it was off. I remembered I'd turned it off years ago because I didn't want the laptop hibernating. I did a complete shutdown anyway (at this point I'm waving dead chickens at the moon), waited a few minutes and booted back into Mint. Still no headphone sound. No switch for the headphones, unfortunately.
I still think it's weird that the only times I've had headphone sound in Mint was the USB Live test of Mint 19, and then after I installed pavucontrol. When I rebooted after the pavucontrol was installed, no headphone sound again.
Thanks for sticking with this, it means a lot to me.

Re: No sound through headphones
Okay, you've given me an idea. Boot to the Live USB, and make sure the headphones are working. Assuming so, run
sudo alsactl store followed by cat /var/lib/alsa/asound.state Paste the output here, then I'll have you insert it into your installed OS.Re: No sound through headphones
And just to note you're at least the second person, probably the third, that's had an issue with the newer pavucontrol causing issues.

Re: No sound through headphones
OK, here is the output. Using Mint 20 Mate 64-bit Live USB and playing Pandora on Firefox, sound on headphones is definitely working.
Fingers crossed.

Re: No sound through headphones
Great. Now you have a copy of that here.
Boot back into your installed version. Run
Boot back into your installed version. Run
sudo touch /var/lib/alsa/asound.state followed by xed admin:///var/lib/alsa/asound.state. If there's anything in the file, delete it, then paste in what you posted above. After saving the file, run sudo alsactl restore then test the headphones.-

Re: No sound through headphones
It worked!
As soon as I ran the restore the headphone sound came right on! MrEen, you're amazing! Knowledge AND patience in one person.
Thanks for all your invaluable help. I want to put a SOLVED on the topic header, but I've got to run now for a bit. I'll be back in an hour or so.
Thanks again.

Fantastic!
In the future, if the headphones stop working again, try the same restore command. I suspect it will work, even months from now.
