Mario's workaround worked fine for me! It will be nice if it does get fixed upstream.

It does not amplify or reduce along with the master volume. Instead, if I completely mute the master volume, the hissing disappears. It comes back as soon as I unmute the master volume. The internal speakers of the laptop are not affected: when headphones are not connected, there is no background hissing noise. Standard four questions: 1) Ubuntu release: 14.04 LTS 2) Package affected: kernel? (linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic) or maybe alsa-driver? 3) Unless I play music, I expect no to hear anything in the headphones 4) I get a background hissing noise in the headphones Thanks!
