I disabled all of my temp fixes, installed this using dpkg -i and booted into it after disabling secure boot.
I think the headset/earphone microphone is working fine now, the sensitivity was really low at first then I found two headset entries in alsamixer(previously there were no headset entries without the temp fix), headset mic one was muted by default headset mic boost was at 0 volume I boosted it all the way to 100 and the sensitivity was on par with temp fix one. The headphones and microphones are still always plugged in by default and it does not auto switch to headphones from speakers when plugged in and vice versa. Also, both internal and external microphone keep working all the time switching to one does not mute another. In, case of speakers/headphones output manually switching to one mutes another. Finally, some progress for this chipset, now all that needs to be fixed is the always plugged in issue and enable auto switch like the one temp fix gives.
