Troubleshooting sound in Linux

When your monitor connection is HDMI but the monitor doesn’t have speakers. Sound works over HDMI, but not in the headphone jack. Some have the opposite problem.

You might want to know how to set your default sound device, but that isn’t the problem. The problem is: your desktop only sees HMDI as the output even when you plug in a headset.

Suggestions for solutions point to outdated software packages for older hardware.
