So, I'll ask the question...
Do these headphones work with Ubuntu and have you tried the headphones on another computer ?
So, I recently decided that I needed to install Linux on my computer, for college purposes. I spent almost 2 days trying to make it work, and when it finally did, I stumbled onto one of the most bizarre computer problems I've ever seen. Mind you, my headphones were working just fine earlier today.
I restarted my computer, and this time it had and option to choose the OS. I chose Windows, and everything was running smoothly, until I realized my headphones had no sound, but when I unplugged the jack, the speakers were functioning normally. It's certainly a software problem. I tried with 2 headphones, which work on other devices, and the jack is outputting normally on Ubuntu. So, I have no idea what could be causing this problem or how to fix it, and would like some help.
I'm on a notebook Asus K45VM, which originally came with Windows 7, and I upgraded to Win10. Again, the problem started after I installed Ubuntu, which I would think has nothing to do, but it's good to say. Also, the microphone, from the same headset, and that connects on the same soundcard, is working just fine.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro 10.0.10240, and my soundcard lists as Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.7767. Thank you all for your time.
