Hello Lehel,

Indeed, you are right. My output is different from yours, and I get what
you indicate in your previous message. However, the result is quite
similar because my headphones jack does not work at all (no plug in
detection, no sound) and the model came from the same original
manufacturer (Clevo).

Today, I applied another update to the kernel (where I think is the main
problem) and the ubuntu-drivers package (probably related, but not very
likely). After reboot, the headphones worked again. Then, I decided to
suspend and resume to check if the headphones still worked. This time, I
did not tested the simultaneous connection headphones + ext. mic.  No
luck, though. The headphones stopped working again.

I am not sure if the root cause is the same for your bug and mine, but I
am pretty sure at this point that there is a problem with the
snd_hda_codec driver at kernel level. So far, the repeating cycle is:

- I apply a new kernel update, then reboot.
- After first reboot, I have again sound through the headphones connection. 
Quality is really superb, much better than line out (not sure if due to lower 
impedance of headphones jack or because the driver was improved).
- If I suspend and resume, the headphones connection stops working again.
- After next reboots, the headphones do not work at all anymore.

My guess is that we can only patiently wait for some kernel developer to
take a look at this at some point, and deliver a solution upstream, that
can be then transferred to Ubuntu users.

For now, I will have to settle for using the line out to listen to
spotify in the library while working.

Best regards,
Felipe.
