pulseaudio headphone output not available

tsssni · 2024-02-19 13:43:38

New version of pipewire-pulse cannot output sound to headphone, I hope someone could help me!
Pulseaudio told me that headphone output was not available, but the headphone was plugged in, and in Windows it worked properly.

I ran the command:

pactl list sinks

and I got:

I have a feeling WirePlumber could help at least to inspect the device and nodes.
