Is your system using PulseAudio or PipeWire? Does the headphone jack show up as a separate device in the System Settings Audio Volume page, or does it appear as a separate port of the device for the built-in speakers? If unsure, attach a screenshot of the System Settings Audio Volume page.

Thank you. Are you using PulseAudio or PipeWire?
From the command line, I can tell I'm using PulseAudio. ps -e | grep pulseaudio 3434 ? 00:00:04 pulseaudio
Thanks. This is an audio subsystem bug, so please report it to the PulseAudio folks at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues. Alternatively, you could try upgrading to PipeWire, which generally works better and is supported in Plasma.
