A system update and reboot seems to have fixed the issue for me. There is another issue with ALC892 that causes a "headphones" output to flash in sound settings. The workaround is to actually connect headphones to the subwoofer jack and the "headphone" output will disappear. The fact that I had headphones connected to the subwoofer jack when I rebooted might also be the reason it worked.
