No audio out from headphone plug
-
Hello,
UT 20.04 on Oneplus6 untill now working nice, waydroid with microg too.
Today I have noticed there is no audio coming out of the headphone out minijack plug that I normally connect to my stereo.
Bluetooth works. But that is to a bluetooth speaker while on holidays. No sound to my (wired) HiFi system.
I thought to let you guys know ...
Greetings

Is the plug possibly not plugged in correctly? My tip: Try Vol or UVol from the Ubports Openstore. With this app you can make sure that the volume is not muted.

@tomsome If you mean analog audio via the USB-C port, here's a command-line fix:

I haven't yet figured out how to make audio output switch to the USB-C port by plug-n-play.

The plug on my cable works: I have a second oneplus 6 with linageOS installed and also my laptop: they both play nice. My headphones' jack is fine too ...What is hard to check is the plug in my phone: I never tried it neither on Ubuntu nor on android. Should I reinstall android to check? I would like to avoid that, having finetuned and installed everything last week, planning to make it my daily driver ... .
I tried uVolMan fork (the only vol manager available in my open store). Nothing seems muted.
Now I noticed some strange behaviour:
The music player plays back on the speakers, but the moment I plug in the headphone jack, the playback stops (no seconds add up any further). When I unplug, it continues playback over the speakers from the point it stopped when I plugged in the headphone jack ... .Curious if anyone can explain what happens here.

I have a mini jack audio output (female). Never had audio over USB-C ... -
@tomsome Ah OK, my OnePlus is a 6T, not 6. It doesn't have a mini-jack at all. It should be possible to tweak the lines I posted to do same with the jack output (if you can't find a better fix)
You may be able to discover which ALSA device is mapped to the headphone jack using the method I posted in

@tomsome No, you don't need to reinstall anything. Try it once when the headphone jack is plugged into the phone to see if it wobbles. Then you can assume that it could be a cold solder joint. This can be fixed. Or just use an old cable with a 3.5 MM jack to see if it works on a box. It can then surely only be a minor issue!

@ancientsounds I've had my problem solved following the instructions in this post

I've been using UT 20.04 on my OnePlus 6 without issues, including Waydroid with MicroG. However, today I noticed there's no audio from the headphone jack to my stereo system. Bluetooth audio works fine with a Bluetooth speaker.
