So it looks like the front headphone jack can't detect plug/unplug from hardware level.
you may have a try with this: edit /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf and add options snd-hda-intel model=,no-front-hp, This workaround will set this headphone jack as phantom jack, so it always shows up in the output device. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804991 Title: Front panel HeadPhone Jack undetectable Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Runing Ubuntu 18.10 x86_64 with kernel Ubuntu 4.18.0-11.12-generic 4.18.12.
