Finally, it worked! I ran the command hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D2 0x03 SET_PIN_WID 0x40 and that solved the problem, and I suppose the patch to set pins on should also work. Thank you so much, Takashi. Will that patch be committed in future kernel releases? Or will patching kernel be needed every time a new one is released in order to make the fix permanent?
