It's pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones... on WINDOWS.

Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.

(Both laptops are reasonably new.)

The "Legally Blonde" meme, the top text reads 'WIN11 WORK LAPTOP. You have consistently working headphones audio?' and the bottom text reads 'HALF-ASSED LINUX INSTALL AT HOME. What, like itโ€™s hard?'

Ok, this prompted me to root-cause the issue. A bad cable between laptop and USB dock seems most likely. Hardware issue, not Linux!
