No sound from headphones on Ubuntu 18.04 with Realtek ALC668












1














I've fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04 but my headphones don't work at all.



My sound card is a Realtek ALC668



driver : Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k4.15.0-23-generic.



00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H HD Audio [8086:a170] (rev 31)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Sunrise Point-H HD Audio [1043:158f]
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel


Originally I had another issue - speakers had sound but volume was always on max level (changing seek bar didn't do anything), I solved this by reinstalling alsa but headphones still don't work.

    Since you have alsamixer, can you check that the headphone volume is not muted or set to zero? Kinda obvious things to check but thought I ask if you haven't already done that.

    Since you have alsamixer, can you check that the headphone volume is not muted or set to zero? Kinda obvious things to check but thought I ask if you haven't already done that.

I solved this issue:



Check device configurations in Pulseaudio volume control



pavucontrol -t 5


If you are not using Built-in input device, change it from duplex to output



Also change any webcam/microphone to input only and reduce playback devices.



Maybe you'll find the nvidia card is detected in there but set to off.



For the output switching when plugging in USB mic, check what Pulseaudio modules are loaded:



pactl list short modules


There might be module-switch-on-connect showing in 18.04.

    Open setup and click on the left side sound.



    On the bottom select profile, and try other ones. Click on Test Speakers to test your profile.

      I solved this issue:



      Check device configurations in Pulseaudio volume control



      pavucontrol -t 5


      If you are not using Built-in input device, change it from duplex to output



      Also change any webcam/microphone to input only and reduce playback devices.



      Maybe you'll find the nvidia card is detected in there but set to off.



      For the output switching when plugging in USB mic, check what Pulseaudio modules are loaded:



      pactl list short modules


      There might be module-switch-on-connect showing in 18.04.
