[ALC257][Thinkpad L14 Gen4]No automatic profile switching when plugging in headphones

[fradsj]

Hello.

Since I have upgraded to Debian 13 (trixie), I can't get my sound system to switch automatically to the right profile when I plug in my headphones.

I tried to modify the /HDA/HiFi-analog.conf file, as it seems to be the one that corresponds to my device, but nothing I've tried could make it work properly.

I have attached the result of the alsa-info command.

Thansk for all the work, and for your help.

It appears like a driver issue. The Mic Jack control does not report that the microphone is inserted:

	control.11 {
		iface CARD
		name 'Mic Jack'
		value false                             # HERE
		comment {
			access read
			type BOOLEAN
			count 1
		}
	}

Thus the automatic device switching cannot work.

Even though my headphones don't have any microphone on it ? Sounds weird 🤔

Sorry, I misunderstood your issue. The headphones section looks fine and 'Headphone Jack' is true so pipewire should activate the corresponding profile. You may check the pipewire debug logs for more details.

Got some logs from pipewire with pw-mon while plugging in my headphones, and got this:

I meant debug logs like this:

#!/bin/bash

systemctl --user stop wireplumber
WIREPLUMBER_DEBUG="spa.*:5" wireplumber
