So my front headphone jack in not being recognized and I'm forced to use the one from the back which works fine.

Ubuntu 16.04

  • From your `alsamixer` picture, it seems your headphone is muted (`MM` shown in the bottom). Try to unmute by pressing `m` on the keyboard; should then show `00` in green color like with the other channels. – ridgy May 10 '17 at 10:09
  • I presses "M", it has now 00 and I crank the volume up but still no sound – Nick Pampoukidis May 10 '17 at 11:45
  • Next step: Run `pavucontrol`(the pulseaudio mixer) and look what output device is selected for the program in use (`Playback`tab), what output devices are available (`Output Devices`tab) and how they are configured (`Configuration` tab). Play around a bit to see what options you have. – ridgy May 10 '17 at 12:05

I had this exact problem. My solution:

1) open PulseAudio control

2)go to the configuration tab.

3)select analog stereo duplex to use the computers built in audio&mic.

Reference from question answered here.

It may help. Worked for me.
