I was able to get the regular config back by reinstalling the sound packages with apt.... but now regardless which kernel I use, it shows my headphones as the speakers....
So to be clear, even on the kernel with working sound before, now it shows headphones as the "output"... same with most recent kernel... "headphones" are output device... any idea how to fix? -- 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/1898603 Title: Kernel Ubuntu 5.4.0-48.52-generic sound broken - headphones detected as output, not speakers Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Starting in Kernel 5.4.0-48-generic on Mint Linux 20 Cinnamon my sound output is detected as "headphones" instead of Speakers when this laptop doesn't even have any headphones connected at all... reverting to a prior kernel fixes the problem and then the output is correctly Speakers... I cannot possibly use sound on Kernel 5.4.0-48-generic and the Mint Linux support chat said I should file a bug for this because this kernel broke something. See attached detailed log reports for more info... Thanks team!!!
