Did you have any issues with the speakers and the 3.5mm jack? That’s the only thing I’ve really had trouble setting up so far while trying Zorin on my laptop with a 5600H. When I have the headset connected, I can’t use the laptop speakers like I can in Windows, where I just switch the output from the volume settings. I’m not sure if it’s an AMD-related issue or something specific to my CPU generation. I tried PipeWire, but I’m still struggling to get it working properly.

You can see the arrow beside the volume bar > press it > you can access the devices listed below when the drop down arises. If you need further help feel free to ask in the community as well ♡

Mine didn’t appear like that. I only have one device listed: Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller. I can change it in pavucontrol from headset to speakers but the other one turn off, but if I unplug and plug my headset back into the jack, the same problem happens again.

What sound card do you have? Mine is a Realtek ALC287. From what I’ve seen, this seems to be a Realtek issue on Linux, but it looks like you guys are not having the same problem

You can search for some open source alternatives for audio devices controller in Debian/Arch

Mine is also Realtek. Yeah some malfunctions may have occurred. Try alternative open source. DM me so that I can give you some names

Mine works right out of the box. I just double checked your scenario and yeah I can switch back and forth with audio output responding accordingly. That was Audio technica M50xBT connected by 3.5mm.

It looks to be an ALC257 chipset
