No sound from front audio jack (rear jack works properly)

Ask Fedora

Hello. My PC has both a front and a rear set of 3.5mm audio jacks. When operating under Fedora 40, sound plays from the rear output jack as normal, however when selecting a device plugged into the front output jack as the output device, sound appears to be playing (when viewed, e.g. in the Sound menu), but no audio is produced. Both front and rear jacks work properly when I boot under Windows.

Some information that may be relevant:
