M1 Mac Mini headphone jack not working

Headphones (plugged in) no longer work in the mac mini. They do work in another device. They are chosen and show in the menu bar. But no sound. Not using bluetooth because it was unreliable and now I can't get it to work either. But i'm asking about the jack today.

Mac mini, macOS 12.0

Thank you for this board, my go to when I have a problem with my mac mini (2014). I too had this problem with the jack not working. Tried all the suggestions, reset NVRAM/PRAM, SMC, checked sound settings (yes headset appears). Did not try safe mode. What did work was updating from Big Sur to Monterey ... not sure why, but happy it now works.
