I've had this issue for almost a year and done many hours of searching without success. the AX370 Gaming-5 has dual alc1220 audio.
Both of these detect correctly in hdajackretask, but when I plug my headphones in the front audio port, audio just continues playing out the speakers. I can see in pavucontrol it detects and switches to 'headphone' when I plug in headphones, but I'm not having any luck getting audio actually playing through the headphones.

Front panel audio works fine in win10 and I've double checked the connection on the motherboard. I'm at a complete loss for fixing this. Please help
additionally, pacmd can't seem to find my sinks (both 0 and 1 don't work)
❯ pacmd play-file test.mp3 0
No sink by that name.

I am able to get some audio to play through the headphones with:
❯ aplay /dev/urandom -f dat -D plughw:1,4
and through the speakers with:
❯ aplay /dev/urandom -f dat -D plughw:1,0
But I still can't get anything else routed through the headphones.
Someone had a similar issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=229543
and they posted the link I mentioned in the OP, but
pacmd move-sink-input 0 1
(the sink index) shows "No sink input found with this index"

well are you sure that that sink input is actually the correct index? You have to use the sink index as printed by
pacmd list-sink-inputs
for any given audio stream (and as it's incremented for each new stream it will only be "0" for the very first attempt at playing something, therefore quite unlikely). Also before you continue pursuing this manual alsa sink loading raindance, which kernel are you using? If you are on LTS it has some known problems with this codec that shouldn't be present anymore with the 4.18 kernel. FWIW you might also want to use pavucontrol as it gives you a GUI to help you grok the workings of pulse if you aren't yet familiar with it.
Also, you might have some global trigger to switch behaviour, what's the output of
amxer -c1

Thanks for replying, I think you're right I wasn't using the correct index, list-sink-inputs:
❯ pacmd list-sink-inputs
1 sink input(s) available.
index: 31
...
❯ pacmd move-sink-input 31 1
this gets audio playing out of the front headphones, but i'd rather not have to do it manually every time.
uname shows I am on the 4.18 kernel

With the headphones plugged in, switching port under "output devices" in pavucontrol only does what it did before: alternate playing through the speakers at different levels of volume. I can see that it is definitely switching something, changing the volume when headphones are plugged in affects the headphone volume. But no audio is going through headphones unless I manually move the sink input over.
any ideas how I can get this working when I plug in the headphones? route all audio to a particular sink?
edit: It appears if I go to the playback tab on pavucontrol and show all streams I can move a particular sink between the two, so that works. It would be nice to move everything over automatically when it's plugged in though

I'll mark this as solved, as I was able to get some level of automation over switching all sinks over.
I came across paswitch, which will route everything through a particular output device https://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/arch … ut_device/
For posterity, this is my current solution:
find your device in pacmd list-sinks, then
paswitch alsa_output.hw_1_4
for headphones and
paswitch alsa_output.pci-0000_12_00.3.analog-stereo
for speakers. Obviously, your device names will be different. I did find a script someone made that automates this on the headphone event, but I have yet to try it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … -connected

Thanks for a simple solution; Chiming in with one of my own for the AX370 Gaming K7, not much difference between them really.
Enabled my Front panel Headphone audio just now,
editing
/usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDAudio-Gigabyte-ALC1220DualCodecs/HiFi.conf
owned by the alsa-lib package interpreted by pulseaudio.
from:
cdev "hw:PCH"
be aware of variants like cdev "hw:PCH,4" exist
into:
cdev "hw:Generic"
cdev "hw:Generic,4"
What led me there is aplay -l shows PCH on Intel motherboard with the same ALC1220 dual-codecs, on ours it should be Generic from "2: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC1220 Analog [ALC1220 Analog]"
You can probably tweak even further since I suspect you may have to create something for the Digital devices too.

Did you edit every entry in that file from PCH -> Generic? Sorry for the dumb question, but you did this in order to solve the same issue?
One annoying thing about the way I solved it is I still have to stick a `pacmd load-module` command somewhere on startup.
Offline
You can also stick the load-module command (without the pacmd) into your /etc/pulse/default.pa that way it will be invoked on each pulse start, without having to worry about which environment is starting pulse

Sorry, didn't see this until now.
Same issue, I did also give pulseaudio paths/profile-set a go, but with less successful results, I'm still trying to figure out Capture channels.
Anyway with this, Rear Headphone is on "Line Out" and Front HP is now shared Headphone + Speaker.
