Seems like after a recent kernel update to 6.9.7 and some updates to a bunch of audio packages, I’m having an issue where plugging in my headphones to the headphone jack results in strange behavior. The audio with my headphones plugged in is whisper quiet, but unplugged speaker audio sounds fine (they are using the same audio device: AMD Family 17h/19h HD Audio).

I found a temporary fix using alsamixer. The ‘bass speaker’ setting would be set to zero everytime I plug in my headphones, and raising it to 100 would result in normal sounding audio. Problem is I have to set this manually everytime I plug in headphones.
However, when booting into a live usb, I noticed that the alsamixer settings look different and my headphones would operate as normal. The headphone volume becomes a slider instead of a toggle and the bass speaker setting becomes a toggle. Not sure if its related and I’m not exactly sure whats caused the issue I’m having as I’m still fairly new.
