I have a strange playback issue. Media will play but disconnect somehow. Spotify just mutes when this happens youtube will buffer then skip back, Steam the video stutters but the audio is slightly more stable. All 3 work fine if I use the front audio port. The back audio ports on this case were all functional on windows.
I browsed some old forum posts and tried changing sound settings and installing pulse no results yet. Hopefully its something simple.

I know this issue sounds real odd but somebody has got to know about it.

Sounds like the auto-detecting and handover between the front and back ports is not working properly. Your workaround is using the front ports. A solution is probably getting a non-broken sound card (or a sound card in the first place if that is mainboard sound).

The front ports are physically broken, so I can rig the audio to to work kinda, but I do need a mic at some point. I also had to manually designate the back port as a headphones for it to work at all.
I never used mint before, thanks btw.

Alright, assuming this may be a driver issue, please share the output of inxi -SAxxxz.

Apparently I have a older kernal. Also I was pretty sure pulse was on but not according to this?
