   Got one of these, running PulseAudio on openSUSE 15.4.  Have to switch   
   between front and back ports using 'pacmd'.   
      
   First had to find the names to use:   
      
   $ pactl get-default-sink   
   alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo   
   $ pactl list sinks ## showing only relevant parts of the output ##   
   Sink #0   
       […]   
       Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo   
       […]   
       Ports:   
           analog-output-lineout: Line Out (type: Line, […])   
           analog-output-headphones: Headphones (type: Headphones, […])   
       Active Port: analog-output-headphones   
       […]   
   $   
      
   Then wrote a script which checks the active port and switches to the other   
   using command:   
      
   pacmd set-sink-port alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo   
   analog-output-lineout   
      
   Have it sitting in the tray on XFCE's panel to be able toggle the output   
   with a single mouse click.   
      
   HTH
