Headphones Don’t Work After Update – Logitech Headphones Fix for Ubuntu 15.04

15.04headphoneslogitech

I updated to Ubuntu 15.04 from Ubuntu 14.10 a few days ago, and now my Logitech G230 headphones don't receive any sound. How can I fix this? PulseAudio Volume Control detects my headphones, and says they're working, but no sound comes through.

EDIT: Using alsamixer worked at first, but now it doesn't, and I get frequent bursts of static through my headphones now.

This is a temporary solution that works for me:

In Terminal type alsamixer, there is a volume bar for headphone. Switch in on by pressing M

Pulseaudio always tries to switch to a newly available audio port when it becomes available. To stop this we can edit our default.pa. This file is located in /etc/pulse (defining settings for all users) or in ~/.pulse (to override these settings for a single user). Just comment out this line to stop pulseaudio from switching ports as follows:

# load-module module-switch-on-port-available

To take effect we need to restart pulseaudio server with pulseaudio -k (or restarting our session).

Whenever you edit the /etc/pulse/default.pa please make a backup first to be able to restore previous settings in case something goes wrong.
