Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_0e.0.analog-stereoĭescription: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo Thank you for your help First with the pactl list sinks output. Is there anything i can do besides waiting for Linux hardware support to catch up or installing windows, which i am determined to avoid. This computer is near identical to one i had until recently, which worked flawlessly, it is the same model but a slightly newer subversion, which i imagine includes minor updates to components, including the audio and maybe the new version is not yet fully supported.
I should add that i tried a long list of other distributions / Ububtu 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, Manjaro, Debian, Fedora, Mint, etc. switching back to speakers is also not possible. Upon wake up it switches automatically to “headphone unplugged”, without headphones in and if i plug them no sound comes out. To add to that, it reacts badly to the power saving sleep mode. I cannot figure out a way to do this automatically. While both the speakers and the headphones work, i have to switch between them using Pulse Audio Volume Control. I am having trouble with my onboard sound card, which i believe is from Intel.
