How to configure audio output

Gosh, I hope this question isn't terribly stupid..
The audio output seems to work fine via HDMI but when I try to output audio through the audio jack I get nothing.
I've tried every option in the audio tab of the input output section and nothing seems to work.
I've restarted several times with nothing plugged into the HDMI port as well.
Any ideas? I bet it's simple..sorry

I believe this is more a Google question rather than a QLC+ one

Ok, so this is totally Linux related then?
I was thinking that it had to do with the audio output configuration in the audio pane of the inputs/outputs tab.
Am I on the right track if I'm looking into configuring ALSA?

Figured it out!
For anyone wondering, in order to force output through the 3.5mm or 1/8th" or headphone jack simply
Log into the RPI via SSH using a tool like Putty
http://www.putty.org/ (default address is 192.168.0.252) User is root and pass is raspberry
Type: raspi-config
Choose # 8 Advanced Options Configure advanced settings
Choose # A8 Audio Force audio out through HDMI or 3.5mm jack
# 0 Auto
# 1 Force 3.5mm ('headphone') jack
# 2 Force HDMI
Then choose #1!

Yup, and though I may have still posted in here, it is a little easy to assume that it would have been in the audio output settings.
Not that I'm pressuring you or anything, but out of curiosity, is it difficult to put the command to change the audio output device in the interface?
I've got a brand new problem now that I've got to post about :-/

Well, technically it is possible, but I am a bit skeptical in adding system-specific settings to QLC+.
The network configuration is an example and in fact it doesn't work well in every occasion cause of specifics. (e.g. WiFi, DNS, etc..)
In general, it's not a QLC+ role to touch your OS.
Also, I can imagine a certain difficulty in a long term to maintain any platform change. For example if the RPi 4 changes the way audio works, I should change the QLC+ code as well (after purchasing a RPi 4 of course...
)
Also if tomorrow QLC+ wants to run on the Banana Pi, Odroid, Beaglebone, etc, should I implement the specific settings of each and every board ? I guess not.

Gotcha, makes sense
