[SOLVED] KDE Plasma doesn't recognize 3.5 mm jack

However ALSA recognizes it, with mute by default. After unmuting via amixer, the sound plays through the laptop speaker and headphone concurrently.
There is only “Speaker” in the Output Device of KDE Plasma. However, KDE Plasma recognizes Bluetooth headphones.
PipeWire instead of PulseAudio is used.
If this is verified a bug of KDE Plasma, then I'll post this on KDE Discuss.

Kindly post more info about your system.
Just install inxi via pacman and type inxi -Fxxxz into the terminal, it should provide everyone enough info.

Plasma has no relation to how your audio is detected, if anything that's a pipewire bug, but there's not much information of relevance.

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -lL
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks

That makes absolutely no sense, and in case it does: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported
