A possible work-around: Update the jack's description to PulseAudio, as shown:
Create the file `/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/iec958-stereo- output.conf` and populate it with: ``` # This file is part of PulseAudio. # # PulseAudio is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as # published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the # License, or (at your option) any later version. # # PulseAudio is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

[General] description = Headphones + Digital Output (S/PDIF) [Element IEC958] switch = mute ``` Then set the model definition at `/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf` with the following entries: `options snd-hda-intel model=no-primary-hp enable=1 index=0` When done, issue a reboot. For current HDA model lists, see http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa- kernel.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio- Models.txt;hb=HEAD. Will test and report back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731940 Title: [P7xxDM2(-G), Realtek ALC898, Headphone Jack, External] No sound at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1731940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
