Hey there!
I installed the Fedora Remix a few days ago and so far I’ve managed to test all the supported (according to the Feature Support matrix) features. I haven’t been able to make the headphone audio work unfortunately.
Kernel seems to detect the headphones being plugged in:
Aug 16 01:52:25 rubicon kernel: cs42l84 2-004b: Plug event
Aug 16 01:52:25 rubicon kernel: cs42l84 2-004b: Detected mic
Aug 16 01:52:29 rubicon kernel: cs42l84 2-004b: Unplug event
Apart from that, nothing changes. No new audio device is added, and no audio is coming from anywhere. So I started tinkering around.
By default the only audio device shown in Plasma settings was set to off. Changing the device configuration from “Off” to “Pro Audio” in the Plasma audio settings shows two audio sinks, but none of them are outputting anything to either the speakers (as expected) or the headphones.

Connecting/Disconnecting the headphones makes no change to the audio sinks shown by wpctl status. The only change I’ve seen is in alsamixer, where the Headphone volume control, shown after selecting the “MacBook Pro J314” card instead of the “default” card changes from Muted to Unmuted. I can’t change the volume on that though. I may not have done a great job at explaning this so let me know if I some screenshots are needed.
Thanks for any help on this.
PS: Forgot to mention, the headphones I’m testing are one of those that come with phones with a microphone bit on them (3.5 jack with 4 contacts). Not sure if it may be an issue or not
