amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

Does anyone know how can i solve it? my pc does detect the headphones because it mutes the speakers when i plug them, but i can't hear sound. i go into amixer and i write "amixer set Headphone unmute" and the output is

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Headphone'

Also if it helps, the output of amixer scontrols is

Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Simple mixer control 'Capture',0

Re: amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

Please post:

$ amixer -c0

You just have ALSA installed? No pipewire or pulseaudio? If you have one of the latter try 'pavucontrol' to control the card.

i do have pavucontrol and pulseaudio installed, and pavucontrol does detect the headphones, but no sound is coming out

i might have done some wrong because i didn't understand if i had to have playback during all of them or only during the pactl list sink-inputs

Re: amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

The presence of the headphone seems to not be properly detected. Try 

amixer -c1 set Headphone',0 100%,100%
pactl set-sink-port alsa_output.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo   analog-output-headphones

Re: amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

ok, i tried those and they give no output. there is also no sound coming out of the headphones yet. is there something else that can be done to fix this or is it a lost cause?

Re: amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

Have you made sure the jack is actually properly plugged in, do the headphones work on other systems?

Re: amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

yes, they are properly plugged in because when i plug them pavucontrol does detect them and the speakers get muted. on android and windows they work perfectly. i have not tried other linux distros. i have also tried with multiple headphones and the problem continues

Re: amixer doesn't seem to have the "Headphone" simple control.

Did you fix V1del's first command, there was a quotation mark missing. Does amixer show the correct value after changing it?

amixer -c1 set 'Headphone',0 100%
amixer -c1 set 'Headphone',0 unmute
amixer -c1 get 'Headphone',0

By the way, you can get a TUI of alsamixer with e.g.

alsamixer -c1
