--- Comment #27 from Takashi Iwai
My last 4 attachments show the in/out, working/nonworking runs of alsa-info.sh I have updates to the working pulseaudio headphone jack blocked from updates.
Updates to most recent releases of the kernel have not affected that working alsa/pulseaudio or the others.
Did you test "alsactl monitor" while plugging/unplugging the headphone jack, as I suggested in the previous mail? If there is no event triggered by that, it means a hardware problem.
Comment. My main system has 5 hard disks, SUSE is on it's own as is Fedora and Windows 8.1. If the headphone jack hardware is the cause of the error, it would have impacted windows8.1.
The fact that it "works" on Windows doesn't mean that there is no hardware problem. Windows doesn't use the full feature like Linux. We sometimes hit bugs Windows doesn't hit; sometimes because we use more chip features than Windows (the vendor never tested properly), or often BIOS is broken but Windows has a static workaround in it. Also, Windows' behavior might be similar like bare ALSA driver, i.e. the headphone isn't muted while unplluged. The headphone mute while unplgged is rather specific behavior of PA. So, check whether the headhpone jack detection really works or not. If it doesn't, accept the fact that there is something wrong in hardware or its setup (e.g. BIOS). A driver bug is very unlikely in this regard. Then check your BIOS setup and hardware setup. I'll suggest another workaround once when you confirm all these. Please report further on Bugzilla.
