An update: testing some more, I can confirm that there were improvements on volume, now it is definetely louder: if it weren't the buzzing effect on the sound, I could say it was fixed. On the other hand, the louder it gets the more noticeable the distortion became. Oh, and I noticed that both of the new kernels are throwing some acpi related errors on boot and on shutdown. I didn't really look that much about them online - so I don't really know if they are serious or not - but as far as I can tell, everything else that was working on the laptop remains so.
I redownloaded and reinstalled the 5.5.2 and saw some errors related to Nvidia drivers on install as well. But as I'm runnnig it with integrated graphics, I can't say if there's problem awaiting me as soon as I jump to the dedicated graphics. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850702 Title: [Samsung Notebook 7 Pro, Realtek ALC256, headphone jack] Headphone sound is faint and distorted (but works fine in Windows) Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can't get sound of my laptop (Samsung Notebook 7 Force) through the headphone jack. The speakers work fine. When I plug a headphone, I can hear the sound being played very faintly. If I bump the volume to the maximum, that is. The sound is very distorted, like a buzz effect being applied over it. I noticed that if I delete /.config/pulse the distortion goes away, but the sound remains very low. After some time, the buzzing effect comes back.
