Now I have restarted my machine and I can record sound while headphones still conencted.Pavucontrol shows microphone unplugged with internal microphone active with headphones connected.

Its just weird.No consistency.If I restart machine,sound recording may or may not work while headphones plugged in :? :o :shock:

Output of pacmd list-sources | grep -e 'index:' -e device.string -e 'name:' still as shown in my last post.

After further research,I think I found a solution on link https://askubuntu.com/questions/1218136 ... headphones and it seems the solution that talks of

Code: Select all

apt install alsa-tools-gui

hdajackretask
also works for my Debian.I will monitor for a few days if there are any challenges with this solution before I indicate this post is solved.

Yes, hdajackretask is the fix I alluded to previously, although you have experienced the problem with different symptoms.

The driver is looking for an external microphone on that pin, and plugging in headphones confuses it. With hdajackretask you can retask the jack from headset with microphone to headphones so the driver won't get confused. Don't forget to install the boot override if the fix works so it will stick after reboot.

Hope that works for you.
