Speakers popping randomly and only headphones work

yum13241 · January 21, 2026, 4:46pm

I cannot hear anything from the speakers if I remove my headphones from the 3.5mm jack (this is the main issue), and on Windows, I can freely switch between the speakers and headphone jack regardless (“multistreaming” as the driver refers to it), even on my other system, as I stated earlier.

My other system does have working speakers though, so it’s not a huge concern, even if multistreaming does work on Windows and not Linux, again, as I stated earlier. Possibly a bug in pavucontrol (the multistreaming part), but I doubt it.

The main issue is the lack of sound from the speakers at all times on this current system (the same system as in the OP).

Hopefully there’s a fix for this!

Try adding a modprobe.d conf file with:

options snd_hda_intel dmic_detect=0

double check whether the auto mute is disabled open a terminal type alsamixer then press F6 to select your sound card from here navigate using arrow key > to auto-mute if it is enabled click it to disabled make sure your speaker (line-out) isnt mute (MM) or the Master setting also.
