MacBook Pro is loosing headphones on 3.5 output

My brand new MPB M4 14" is always on charger and sometimes it can't recognize headphones inserted in 3.5 output. Reboot helps. Reinsert doesn't. Any ideas?

A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies on the M-series Mac.


Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
