This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.
If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

With Haswell, it seems like this is not guaranteed to be true. I would like to see this fixed on the graphics side. If not, I don't know how to work around it on the audio side. The problems that occur on the audio side are: 1) Some BIOSes set default pin config. E g, if the machine has a single HDMI out, it can set two of the codec pins to "not connected" and let the third remain "jack". As a result, the HDA driver will ignore the two codec pins and only enable the third. As such, HDMI audio will not work correctly, unless it's the third codec pin that is connected to the physical output. 2) Saving and restoring mutes, volumes etc is done on a per-pin basis. E g, imagine that a user has a dual monitor setup and always wants audio output from the left side monitor, and keep the right side monitor silent. If it is not reliable which codec pin refers to which physical output, one day suddenly the sound might come out on the right side monitor instead.
