SOLVED Pipewire - output is always "Headphones", sound goes to speaker

Yesterday sound started to work weird: I plugged my headphones to jack port, and in the beginning it started playing on both speaker and headphones. After re-plugging headphones issue seemed to resolved itself, however today after booting my Linux system sound always goes to speaker, even when headphones are plugged in.

Jack port isn't faulty: on Windows everything works fine. If I try to remove all pipewire-related packages and use vanilla alsa, sound goes to both headphones and speaker upon plugging headphones in.
UPD: The issue also appears when using vanilla pulseaudio.

I've tried to downgrade the Linux kernel, alsa-card-profiles package, different pipewire packages, etc., but nothing seems to work. I've also tried setting multiple different parameters to "snd-hda-intel", removing ~./config/pulse/cookie, /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, and yet nothing resolved the issue.

I believe downgrading also would not help, since the system was not upgraded for last 2 weeks or so, and the issue appeared only yesterday.

Is there a way to somehow reset all settings related to sound? Including ones of alsa, pulseaudio (pipewire-pulse), etc.?

Thanks a lot.

Laptop is ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 (AMD). Also, here's the output of wpctl:

Re: SOLVED Pipewire - output is always "Headphones", sound goes to speaker

You'll want to remove ~/.local/state/wireplumber and restart pipewire{-pulse,wireplumber}

Re: SOLVED Pipewire - output is always "Headphones", sound goes to speaker

What's the general behavior you want? Sound only out of headphones unless not plugged then to speaker or always to both? Since you mention Windows and sound being a very common victim of that make sure fast boot is disabled. What do you get from 

pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
amixer -c0

post these wrapped in [code][/code]  code tags.

Another way to generally reset state (especially if Windows fast boot was still active) is to do a 

sudo alsactl init

Well, when headphones are plugged in, I'd like to have sound only coming from them (so that speaker doesn't produce any), and, when headphones are not plugged in, I'd like to have sound coming from speaker.

That was the behavior (the default one I believe) for some 8 months of this Arch Linux installation, but it all broke recently after the installation of Windows 11.
What I currently have, is that sound is always coming from the speaker, and not from the headphones, even when they are connected.

It may actually be related to Windows. However I've made sure to disable fast boot and hibernation as the first thing after I got Windows installed.

sudo alsactl init

Tried doing that and also to restart wireplumber, pipewire{,-pulse} afterwards, however audio is still broken.
I've also tried to replace wireplumber with pipewire-media-session, but it doesn't change anything.

Thanks for help!

Re: SOLVED Pipewire - output is always "Headphones", sound goes to speaker

UPD: Holy moly, the sound is back!

What was needed was to update the UEFI firmware.

Special thanks to @V1del, much appreciated!

UPD2: It turns out Windows sets up the devices very aggressively (and also selfishly tongue). In my case, after using Windows, sound cards are in very weird state in Linux, when headphones and speakers seem to be concatenated together, and output is available only to speakers. If you find some similar weird behavior, try to shut down your device completely, and only then boot Linux up.

Yes Windows breaking devices is normal, see the link I posted for disabling fast boot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_b … ibernation
