• Environment: Fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04 on Dell Inspiron 5567 laptop.


• Related softwares installed: VLC and FFmpeg installed (haven't had any problems with these)


• Problem: Sound doesn't come out of the earphones.


• Recent changes to the system: Installed ubuntu-restricted-extras.


• Further details: Sound works on in-built speakers. On earphones, when sound supposed to come there's a one-time faint pop sound comes. And that's it. It detects as headphone and shows it emits sound on settings and it shows sounds are working on the scale. [image attached]


• Special note: Everything works normally and sounds working on same earphones, same laptop on Ubuntu 20.04 live session.


• Tried solutions: Removing ubuntu-restricted-extras didn't fix the problem. Tried to fix it on alsamixer no luck. pulseaudio shows the same results as the sound settings shows.

PS: Reinstalling the OS isn't an option right now.
