This also affects me! Ubuntu Focal Fossa updated until right now; Dell Inspiron 15 5590 Laptop; Intel® Core™ i7-10510U CPU.
I just use a simple P2 headphone. When plugged, audio doesn't sound out and mic doesn't capture in until I go to Gnome Control Center > Sound and change to the other input device created besides the default one.
