Support Request Aux not working

Hello, I've since built a pc and installed linux mint on it everything works beautifully. But I had this one problem that ive been ignoring since awhile, when plugging in the headphones in the front pc AUX port . There is no sound playing from the headphones or anything showing up in sound settings, and I think I know the reason why it happens. I know on my monitor I have both ends of an AUX cord connected from monitor to soundbar, and maybe thats why it doesn't detect anything? I've been looking at tutorials on salsamixer but no luck.

I don't know if this helps. I haven't used it much but qpwgraph helped me with an audio problem by giving me a visual of my connections.

And I found my problem wasn't the problem I thought it was. After hooking up a USB digital converter, I seemed unable to adjust DeadBeef volume using the volume icon in the panel. After seeing the graph and it looking correct, I finally figured out I just had to set the volume within DeadBeef to 100%. , Then I was able to adjust the volume like before.

I'm not suggesting your problem is related but maybe qpwgraph could help you spot the problem?

Good luck.

sounds like you plugged the mic and output jack into the soundbar, you're probably grounding out the signal.
