Title:
[Inspiron 5482, Realtek ALC3204, Black Headphone Out, Front] Playback
problem
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm unable to play sound through the headphone jack on this laptop.
When I try to play a wav with aplay (e.g. aplay
/usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav) the level indicators in
pavucontrol fluctuate, but no sound results. Adjusting the volume
does not help.
Also, when the headphones are plugged in, I cannot play sound through
the internal speakers by selecting the "Speakers" port in pavucontrol
Output Devices. With the headphones unplugged, the internal speakers
work fine.
I tested the Ubuntu 19.10 live USB and I am able to play sound through
the headphones without doing anything special (plug in headphones,
select "Headphones" from the popup that appears, and use aplay as
above), so the hardware itself is apparently okay. The headphones do
not work when booting the Ubuntu 20.04 live USB.
The problem may be intermittent as I seem to recall I have been able
to use the headphones since upgrading to 20.04, but I am not sure of
my recollection. I also think that in some of my tests, I was able to
play sound through the speakers with the headphones plugged in (by
selecting Speakers in pavucontrol) but I cannot reproduce this now.
Happy to provide more information, try troubleshooting ideas, etc.
Thanks.
