How did pulseaudio get dBmix -177dB for line out path and -114 dB for
headphone path as both green line out and hp share the amps in audio output
0x10 and audio mixer 0x16 ?
you may need to change the Front playback volume to Front+HP playback
volume where Line out and HP share playback volume control

If you use bios setup to change front audio panel type to HDA, driver
should create auto mute control and you have to disable auto mute

[Jack Headphone]
state.plugged = no
state.unplugged = unknown
[Jack Line Out Front]
required-any = any
However pulseaudio seem also check the headphone jack is not plugged
>> > Now upon start up or pulseaudio being restarted the headphones is
muted, but the surround channel isn't any more. As mentioned I would like
both channel not to be muted.
; This profile path is intended to control line out, let's mute headphones
; else there will be a spike when plugging in headphones
[Element Headphone]
switch = off
volume = off
Seem related to these rule in conf if pulseaudio mute headphone switch and
turn off headphone playback volume when line out port is used
For the headphone playback volume control, if you don't need 7.1, the
workaround is to use early patching or hdajackretask to change pin default
of side (grey) jack from [JACK] to [N/A] to get back the Headphone Playback
Volume control and Independent headphone
This allow driver to assign 0x25 to headphone , but this mean headphone
won't connect to audio mixer 0x16

Enable independent HP should disabled driver 's auto mute feature, for auto
mute, the driver just mute and won't change the volume control
>From viewpoint of user, I expect pulseaudio mute the surround speakers when
stereo profile is selected but should keep those surround volume unchanged
when user selected 7.1 profile
This look like pulseaudio change those surround, clfe and side playback
volume when you select stereo profile
You need to dump those pulseaudio database files to find out whether
pulseaudio keep the values of bass, fade controls in sound preference or
surround, center, clfe and side playback volume if pulseaudio can restore
the surround 7.1 profile
ALSA: hda - Support advanced power state controls
This patch enables the finer power state control of each widget
depending on the jack plug state and streaming state in addition to
the existing power_down_unused power optimization. The new feature is
enabled only when codec->power_mgmt flag is set.
