Now if you want to stop randomly moving things from one port to another in a desperate attempt to get it working, then we can probably go through and actually troubleshoot the problem.
Ben, Testing ports is generally considered a good first step. Now I know that I get stereo sound from the rear panel 3.5mm (green) audio output, the headphones will stay there.
Like I mentioned in my original response there's something screwy with what you described in pavucontrol and given the discrepancy you just ran into between your browser and zoom you are just confirming my suspicion.
- remove all extra devices and make sure it works with the most minimal hardware setup.
Microphone + headphones; speakers turned off
your devices and make whatever adjustments are needed in pavucontrol to get audio in/out
Audio in is not an issue; it works with Zoom and Jitsi. The last time I futzed with this issue pavucontrol's configuration tab recognized speakers and headphone and let me select which I wanted. Now it's not recognizing that headphones are connected. I wish you a quick, and completely, recovery from your COVID19 infection. A news article today said the likelihood of long COVID is less with a second infection than with a first one. I hope you never have to face that. Regards, Rich
