headset appears with input devices but not output

fi flag

I am connecting a headset to my machine but it is not showing up with output devices even though the headset mic exist between input devices. I had a similar issue before on another machine & it was solved by adding two lines to this file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf :

options snd-hda-intel position fix=1
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi

but the same solution did not work.
I also tried to restart pulseaudio

pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start

then I tried reloading alsa

sudo alsa force-reload

And the solutions in this answer https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/645000. but none of them worked for me. in my other machine there is a dialog that shows up every time I connect an audio device, but I dont see it on this one.

NOTE: I have windows 11 on the same machine and the headset is working on it perfectly.

UPDATE: I installed pipewire then reboot, connected my headset & now there are not any devices inside sound settings.

I tried this solution but also did not work for me.

UPDATE 2: Now, I can see two input devices in pavucontrol & sound settings, when I choose the internal mic, I can record audio & hear sounds
but when I choose the other choice (microphone) I can still record audio but can't hear anything.

we have switched to `pipewire` Care to give that a go? It has better support for and more features than PA https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/05/enable-pipewire-audio-service-ubuntu-21-04/

I did some kind of a workaround.

options snd-hda-intel position fix=1
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

I added these two lines in the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
& with the help of this command hdajackretask, chose show unconnected pins then I overrode two options (I think they are called pins).
well, It works but I have to choose headphone & microphone manually every time I connect my headset.
If someone have a better solution, please tell me.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
