I thought you said it worked on the back ports? There are ports for each. You didn’t mention you had to unplug the speakers to make the headphones work?
it fine thanks anyway.
oh, yeah can I just plug in the the headphones and speakers at the same to the back?
Try it and see. I would think when you plug in headphones the speaker output would change to the headphones? Not sure?
yeah I just tried and it and it still didn’t work. the output didn’t change
I also just updated my bios and there’s still no improvements
I think im just gonna try fedora live usb and if it works there i’ll just jump ship
welp fedora also has this issue, I guess my hardware is too new/weird for Linux

I just found another person with the exact same problem!! https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=272523 almost the same motherboard too!
i would check if changing pipewire manager to wireplumber can help…
sudo pacman -S wireplumber
and if not and you want to check if “pure” pulse is working:
you need to force switching from package side to get it working …
sudo pacman -Rdd pipewire-pulse pipewire-jack
sudo pacman -R pipewire-alsa
sudo pacman -S pulseaudio jack pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-jack
this should work…
to me this reminds me on two periods in time… late 90ies where audio was one of the things where you learn a lot on hardware with linux while try hard to get it working over years 
second when pulseaudio was “invented” into arch … and now … ? we are into transition to pipewire…
I already tried wireplumber on endeavour, and pulseaudio through ubuntu. neither work
and using pavucontrol ?
Where you can set devices on and of in config tab?
I just tried the fix on the arch forum and now nothing with audio works.
im using both pavucontrol and kde sound settings
is sof-firmware installed ?
pacman -Qs sof-firmwareyeah it’s installed
yeah audio doesn’t work at all anymore.
I can’t even play any media content anymore, they just wont start.
If I had upgraded my CPU and MB I would want to install a fresh OS. Just saying…
