No sound after unplugging the headphones from the computer
Solution 1:
Running
mv ~/.config/pulse/ ~/.config/pulse_old/
and restarting my machine did the trick.
Solution 2:
I'm also on a HP Zbook G5 Studio and what worked for me was following these steps:
- Uninstall pulseaudio using:
$ sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio alsa-base - Reboot, now there won't be any sound info since there is no driver, but don't worry.
- Install pulseaudio again:
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio alsa-base - Reboot again and it should be fine, at least it was for me.
I should also note that I did this process after updating from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.04
