I'm assuming when you say Windows works fine that you mean Windows on this same laptop...?

The speakers work fine. When I plug a headphone, I can hear the sound being played very faintly. If I bump the volume to the maximum, that is. The sound is very distorted, like a buzz effect being applied over it. I noticed that if I delete /.config/pulse the distortion goes away, but the sound remains very low. After some time, the buzzing effect comes back.
