This may be a kernel driver bug, and a regression from 4.12. See http://www.lattepanda.com/topic-p24689.html?sid=1fa88916eb19dd9d65e0abd3ecbf6210#p24689
This may be a missing piece of platform data in the kernel that would tell it to invert jack detection on this particular board. I will try testing with the functionality added to the kernel in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/4999b0214b05a08b42bbafcb29a0b9c413002d3f which lets you tinker with the platform data at runtime. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-lib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824259 Title: Headphone jack switch sense is inverted: plugging in headphones disables headphone output Status in alsa-lib package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My machine is a LattePanda board, which uses a "chtrt5645" device as a sound card. It has a single headphone output jack, which I think is a TRRS jack, with a mic input, such as is normally used on phones. When I don't have headphones plugged in, the system thinks headphones *are* plugged in. Gnome Control Center shows my audio device as being headphones. If I insert a headphone connector partway into the jack, I can even get sound in the headphones. But if I plug the headphones all the way in, the system decided that I have *un*plugged the headphones, and switches output over to "Speaker". The system doesn't actually have a speaker, only a headphone jack. And when the system switches over to "Speaker", I get no sound out of the headphones, even if I open "pavucontrol" and swap over to "Headphones (unplugged)" on the "Output Devices" tab. This is what "pacmd"'s "list-cards" command says with my headphones *unplugged*: 2 card(s) available. index: 0 name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_00_02.0-platform-hdmi-lpe-audio> driver: <module-alsa-card.c>

PulseAudio is getting all these ports from Alsa's UCM (Use Case Manager) system, which has a bunch of config files that live in /usr/share/alsa/ucm. I tried editing /usr/share/alsa/ucm/chtrt5645/HiFi.conf to swap the enable and disable procedures for the headphones and the speakers, in hopes of convincing it to route audio out the headphone jack, but that didn't work. This problem has affected me since at least Ubuntu 18.04. I've upgraded through 18.10 and to 19.04 today. All three releases have the same problem. 1. How is the PulseAudio/ALSA system determining whether headphones are plugged in or not? 2. How do I invert the sense of that test?
