Headphone jack woes on Samsung Notebook 7 Force
by wowbaggerBR from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YVC2)
Guys, I'm having some issues with my new laptop, but the more urgent of them all is the headphone jack sound output, which doesn't work.
Whenever I plug a headphone, all I got is a very faint and distorted sound, even with the volume at 150%. It's kinda hard to describe the distortion not being a native English speaker, but it is like a buzzing effect applied on top of the sound to the point you can't really discern what is playing.
I don't really know where to begin to debug this, so I ask for help! I can't stay on Windows any longer.
For more context:
I'm running Kubuntu 19.10 with every thing up to date
Tried with different headphones to no avail
Everything works on Windows 10
Using a dongle through USB-C works, but it is far from ideal
Bluetooth is not really an option: it works, but it gets confused with the 2,4 GHz Wi-Fi signal - thanks Intel - so I can either use Bluetooth or the Wi-Fi
