I have the Cinnamon desktop installed and for some reason my headphones wont work. In Pulse Audio Volume Control I see them connected and the little meter moves when there is sound but no sound is present anywhere. Any help would be appericated
Try with alsamixer - run it, press F6 to switch between outputs, and make sure the headphone output isn’t muted.

No is was not muted
Have you tested other headphones / speakers through same connector?
Just to exclude headphones / cord malfunction out of equation

Assuming you checked the volume level, it’s also possible your system needs a specific option passing to the audio driver for the correct port setup.
I was able to fix it. I disabled quick boot in the bios and then did a complete shutdown. Now it works. Thanks for your help

Exactly. It’s even quicker if you leave your computer off.
