No Big Sur Audio Through Headphone Jack

Has anyone found a fix for the problem of Big Sur not playing sound through the headphone jack on an iMac?

Peter, its working fine for me. Have you checked what the sound preference pane? I'm assuming it is listed as External Headphones - Headphone port?? Have you tried switching back and forth between iMac speakers and headphones? Did that make it work? What have you tried.


Have you tried to boot into SAFE mode and see if you get sound via the headphone jack?


I hope this helps.
