Headphones not working in Tumbleweed

Hi everyone.
Looking for a beautiful and powerful distro I’ve installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Maybe the most handsome kde configuration I found but, I also found my headphones doesn’t work plug in the jack. The sound works fine through HDMI or Bluetooth.
This is the alsa-inf.sho file
http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=e5496b81417e2f4b7c9efccb0d730b936bd569d1

I don’t have enough knowledge to understand the info. Can anyone help me?
I almost forgot :stuck_out_tongue: . I tried with a live USB of other distro and headphones worked fine.
Thanks.

Welcome to Tumblweed.

No expert on audio but know some general tricks debugging things. I had a look in the alsa-inf.sho you shared (good) but not too much pops up, there is headphone but it seems to be not active.

So no real clues but the good things is you tried on other systems where things work. Can you get the same alsa-inf.sho for such a working system? Then diff the two files, that will reveal what is different and where to focus on.

Have you tried an application such as ‘pavucontrol’ to see if sound can be directed to the headsets?

Further to oldcpu’s suggestion, I note from a quick look at the alsa.info output you shared that you have PipeWire acitve (as expected)…

!!Sound Servers on this system
!!----------------------------

PipeWire:
      Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/pipewire)
      Running - Yes

Jack2:
      Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/jackdbus)
      Running - No

In order to use pavucontrol, you’ll need the ‘pipewire-pulseaudio’ package installed. This PipeWire wrapper API is useful for client applications that still rely on PulseAudio.

Hello!
First of all, thanks for your interest and answers.
I just turned on the PC and the and the problem it’s fixed doing nothing :man_shrugging:, which I don’t understand because I rebooted the system several times.
Also looking back I’m not sure if I ran alsa-info with headphones plugged :person_facepalming:. So, yesterday I ran alsa-info again with headphones plugged in (Now I’m sure):
Tumbleweed not Working headphones
And today I ran again:
Tumbleweed Working headphones
I share both, maybe anyone can tell the difference.
About “oldcpu” and “deano_ferrari” suggestion:
pipewire-pulseaudio is installed, I will try pavucontrol.

Thanks again!

from hardware view point reboot and shutdown are not the same thing is the hardware gets into a non functional stat a power off will reset it a reboot does not remove power
