Ubuntu 20.04 Audio Totally broken. There's no sound and detects headphones all the time

cl flag

I've a big problem. The sound of my pc has a lot of problems.

My laptop detects headphones all the time even when there is nothing plugged in. Also doesn't make any sound when I tried to use '''pulseaudio --kill & pulseaudio --start''' did not fix the problem. I need to use multiple times pulseaudio --kill like it was more than a pulseaudio.

In the case of pavucontrol or alsamixer I can't find any problem. Doesn't works when I use '''alsa force-reload''' nor reinstall pulsaudio or alsa-base. I already tried to reinstall kernel with

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-$(uname -r)
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)

Maybe a clue is when I use systemctl --user status pulseaudio I get this:

[

It also happens when i use pulsaudio instead of pulsaudio --start to see the log.

I don't know what is the cause, pulsaudio --kill & pulsaudio --start It was solved.

I already checked my sound card with

 ~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: Generic Analog [Generic Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: Generic Digital [Generic Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Sometimes when reinstall pulseaudio or log out it seems like it works correctly but instead of the sound is a buzzing noise. I appreciate any help. :(

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
