Title:
[Realtek ALC892, Green Headphone Out, Front] Not detecting/switching
to front jack after plugging in headphones

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New

Bug description:
I boot my system without any sound devices plugged into any jacks;
checking Gnome settings Sound, Output Device is "Dummy Output" (no
other options available in drop-down list). I plug in headphones into
the front jack and play some audio, but do not hear any sound from the
headphones; checking Gnome settings Sound, the Output Device is still
"Dummy Output", with no other options available.

This is a regression from previous behaviour, when plugging in
headphones into the front jack would automatically enable/switch to
the front jack and its associated controller "Family 17h (Models 00h-
0fh) HD Audio Controller" (this is the motherboard's onboard audio
hardware).

I can currently workaround this each time I plug in the headphones by
installing and running pavucontrol, and under Configuration selecting
"Analogue Stereo Output (unplugged) (unavailable)" - this option
becomes "Analogue Stereo Output" after I select it.

This seems to be a regression in pulseaudio after an upgrade from from
1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.3 to 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.5.
