I am running Kubuntu 16.04.1 on a machine with a Realtek ALC898 audio card.
My system can now normally detect the card and play sounds via the speaker however the headphone is not working. I have gone through No sound output from headphone jack Ubuntu12.04 and tried the solutions introduced but no luck.
Here are some debug info...
$ aplay -l

I have also tried alsamixer
to ensure that the headphone is not muted, and installed pavucontrol
to check the configurations. I can even see the current volume bar pulsing while playing audio.
I'm using an MSI GT72S laptop and I have this issue when the Nvidia VGA card is enabled.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
