I have a similar problem on my Dell XPS 13 - if I boot the laptop with the headphones (3.5mm) plugged in, then it essentially disabled the 3.5mm headphone jack - nothing I've tried re-enabled it again (eg unplugging/replugging the headphone, all the settings, etc). Only a reboot without the headphones plugged in and plugging them in after logging in, fixes the problem. I don't have this problem on my Lenovo T480s. Perhaps this is a different problem?

Status in gnome-control-center: Unknown Status in PulseAudio: New Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-control-center source package in Focal: Invalid Status in pulseaudio source package in Focal: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu version: focal dev Kernel version: 5.4.0-14-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 6 22:47:59 UTC 2020 Pulseaudio: 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu1 Device CID: 201704-25503 Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect an audio interface. I tried with BT headphones and speakers as well as a USB microphone/output. 2. Make sure it's the one selected as "Output device" 3. Click "Test" -> the test sound outputs from the internal laptop speakers (NOK) 4. Select "Speakers - Built-in Audio" as Output device and click "Test" -> the test sound outputs from the internal laptop speakers (OK) 5. Try to switch back to the BT device and click Test -> same result as in step 3 Tested with 2 different BT devices (one headset and one speaker) as well as a USB audio interface (Zoom H2N microphone). Attached are btmon logs captured during the procedure described above, and pactl logs capture after step 7. I was previously using 19.04 and 19.10 on this device and never experienced this kind of issue. Up to this morning, it was harder to connect the BT device, but once connected, the sound would output on it as expected. Now, the BT connection seems to work better, but I can't output the sound to the BT device... I tried to reboot the device, and also to suspend/resume, but in each case, the BT device can connect back, but the sound is still output from the internal laptop speakers, even when the BT device is selected in the Sound settings.
