No sound out of front panel headphone jack (again)

Hey all,

Firstly, this is not a new issue in the arch forums, but I had trouble understanding some of the previous posts. Namely, this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=272523&p=2. I wasn't sure whether it would be better to bump the old thread (seeing as how it is still not marked as solved) or create a new one, so I created a new one.

On that page, there was the following quote:

As this thread was never marked [SOLVED], I'm just popping by to let any other ALC4080 users know that this USB Audio chip is now fully supported out-of-the-box with an updated Arch install.
The issue was fixed in kernel 5.17.x and Alsa UCM:
https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/pull/143
No changes to Pulseaudio nor Pipewire code or configuration were necessary. A few of us who were active on the bug reports provided our various motherboard's USB IDs for our respective ALC4080 chips in the afore-linked Alsa PR. In addition to functionality, clearly-named output/input mapping was also implemented.

So I checked `/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/USB-Audio/USB-Audio.conf` to see if the regex for my motherboard was there and sure enough:

 64                  # 0db0:36e7 MSI MAG B650I Edge WiFi

The numbers match from `lsusb` as well:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0db0:36e7 Micro Star International USB Audio

So it seems like I should be able to get audio out, but cannot at this stage. I am currently using pipewire and suspect it might be an issue with that?

sudo pacman -Qqs pipewire | pacman -Q linux -
linux 6.4.9.arch1-1
easyeffects 7.0.6-1
libpipewire 1:0.3.77-1
libwireplumber 0.4.14-1
pipewire 1:0.3.77-1
pipewire-alsa 1:0.3.77-1
pipewire-audio 1:0.3.77-1
pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.77-1
wireplumber 0.4.14-1

I don't know if it helps, but when I look at pavucontrol, the headphones are shown as plugged in and I can route sound through them and it looks like the audio is playing correctly, but no sound is actually coming out. In my particular case, I have a scarlett solo device that I am currently using for sound output, so I'm not super stressed to find a solution, but it would be nice to get the headphone jack working.

I guess a follow-up question... Where can I find the `pactl` version of:

pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name="Headphones" sink_properties=device.description="Headphones" device=hw:Audio,1 control='PCM',1
