Hardware: Dell Latitude E7450 laptop Gentoo essentially all stable Gnome / Systemd
When I play a movie using totem it sounds fine if no headphones are plugged it. No sound at all with headphones. I tried a few, one with a microphone several without. The gnome sound settings gui recognizes that the headphones are in but the sound test is silent. If, with the phones still in, I select the internal speakers, all sounds well. I installed pauvcontrol and selected "Output Devices". When I selected "Speakers" as the port the volume meter moves around normally and the sound is fine. When I selected "Headphones (plugged in)" as the port the volume meter again moves around normally but there is no sound. This laptop dual boots windows. I played the same movie on windows and sound was normal both with the speakers and the headphones. What should I try next? thanks, allan
