That depends.

It could be that PA actually overrides what was sensed. Cou you check
if selecting a different "connector" in g-v-c makes things work for
you?

The jack sensing situation is a big big mess. There are two ALSA APIs
being discussed for this right now, different drivers implement things
differently, there is hw switching and sw switching and everything is
very confusing.
