In my HP Victus laptop, recently when I connected my headphones to laptop there was no sound coming from speaker, the sound was coming from the speaker and not from headphones And same goes for Bluetooth as well

Hi Bink,
I am using the KDE desktop environment. Below is the output of the command:
System:
Kernel: 6.9.9-arch1-1 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc
v: 14.1.1
Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 6.1.2 tk: Qt v: N/A wm: kwin_wayland dm: SDDM
Distro: EndeavourOS base: Arch Linux
Audio:
Device-1: Intel Alder Lake PCH-P High Definition Audio
vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl bus-ID: 00:1f.3
chip-ID: 8086:51c8
Device-2: NVIDIA vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel
pcie: speed: 16 GT/s lanes: 8 bus-ID: 01:00.1 chip-ID: 10de:2291
API: ALSA v: k6.9.9-arch1-1 status: kernel-api
Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.2.1 status: active with: 1: pipewire-pulse

4: pw-jack type: plugin
It’s good practice to set chunks of output like that as preformatted text (select the output text and press CTRL+e).
With headphones plugged in, when you go to System Settings > Sound, what devices are listed under Playback Devices?
(feel free to share a screenshot of that if you think it might assist us)

Your solution worked perfectly!! But had one doubt why don’t it get automatically switched when I connect my airpods via Bluetooth.
Let us know if this is clear 
Problem solved!! Thank you for your assistance.
