I have this laptop - HP Spectre x360 13-w023dx.
Basically my headphones work in Windows but they don't work in Linux (specifically Arch Linux). In Linux, my headphones are detected (i.e. the system volume changes when I connect my headphones) but I can't seem to get any audio to play out at all.
I have tried audio when booting from an Ubuntu Live CD and it still doesn't work.
I've tried hdajackretask
and following this, but all it does is play audio through the speakers like nothing was connected to the headphone jack at all.
Also, playing audio via a USB-C audio interface only works in Windows, a similar problem happens when playing in Linux.
Here is the output of pactl list sinks
when the headphones are connected, if it helps:

Any help to get my headphones to work (and also USB-C audio) would be appreciated. Thanks!
