Jasper Lake/Sasuke/Manjaro: No headphone output

[datagore]

I've set up Manjaro on a Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go (SASUKE board). After running the script, internal speakers work just fine, but I'm getting nothing out of the 3.5 mm headphone jack. It goes silent when plugging headphones in, and resumes when unplugging. So it's detecting the headphones, which show up as "Jasper Lake HD Audio Headphones" in pavucontrol, and I can see the VU meter bobbing up and down, but total silence. The infuriating thing is, I had headphones working on this same setup before, but after reinstalling Manjaro the headphones don't work.

Here's my output from ./setup_audio:

Try amixer set 'Headphone Volume' 57

[datagore]

Thank you for the prompt response!

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Headphone Volume',0

Not quite sure what's going on... alsamixer shows just a single control for PulseAudio. I can select "sof-da7219max98360a" A.K.A. "Intel Jasperlake HDMI", which shows a whole array of controls, none of which give me any audible output whatsover.

Once again, pavucontrol shows bouncing meters for "Jasper Lake HD Audio Headphones," which is the default device, but nada.

Here's my output for amixer scontents if it helps:

[WeirdTreeThing]

Oh right it selects the audio server virtual card as default. amixer -c 0 set 'Headphone Volume' 57

[datagore]

Still getting amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Headphone Volume',0. Sorry if I can't be of more help, I'm sort of clueless about audio stuff.

[WeirdTreeThing]

It may just be Headphone instead of Headphone Volume

[datagore]

Yeah, I appear to have it turned up though. Here's an exerpt of amixer -c 0:

I've been sitting here trying to change these values in alsamixer while playing music in the background, but I can't find any combination of settings that produces any results.

Okay, I noticed that when I toggle "Mixer Out FilterL DACL" or "Mixer Out FilterR DACL", I start hearing some faint static in my headphones, like it's actually outputting something (just no music or anything).

Here's something from journalctl -b that looked related maybe.

Those kernel errors mean nothing. I'll have a look at the mixer state later.

[TheVorkMan]

Still no fix for this? Suffering from this issue since the first time I installed custom os on this chromebook.

The infuriating thing is, I had headphones working on this same setup before, but after reinstalling Manjaro the headphones don't work.

Did you fixed audio on a previous installation with this script or manually? Also, which distro you was using?

[datagore]

Yeah, I'd love a follow-up on this as well.

Did you fixed audio on a previous installation with this script or manually? Also, which distro you was using?

From what I remember, I ran the script normally and it Just Worked™, no manual intervention necessary. That was on the same distro (Manjaro), so I'm not sure what happened exactly.

[WeirdTreeThing]

Trying to fix an issue like this is hard because the problem is not obvious, so it requires poking around. But I don't have any jasperlake devices to do that with.
