No sound through headphones on ThinkPad E480
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I plugged in my headphones and noticed sound doesn't play through them!
I installed Solus 3 Mate originally and I've installed all updates since, including today's batch of updates.
In Windows 10, sound plays fine through the headphones.

Event Timeline

Did you switch to the headphone output inside the settings

Sound preferences only show Speakers as an option under Output.
When I use Test Speakers, it plays through the speakers.

I disconnected and connected the headphones now and the sound icon disappeared from the notification area!

Do you use usb or jack headphones ?

@kyrios123 I'm using jack headphones.
Now my headphones work fine!
I tried a Solus 3.9999 Mate and Plasma LiveUSB, headphones didn't work there.
Then after booting into Solus from the F-12 menu with headphones connected, sound played.
I restarted with headphones disconnected and when I plugged them in, sound worked fine!
