Realtek's proprietary impedance sensing and jack detect techniques allow
device loads on inputs and outputs to be auto-detected. All analog IO are
input and output capable, and headphone amplifiers are also integrated at
each analog output.

Trigger ImpSense

There are a fews codecs in hda-emu/codecs with Pin cap : Trigger and
ImpSense


For the alsa driver , there are specific controls for these kind of multi
function jacks which allow user to switch the function of the jack

"Headphone Mic Jack Mode" headphone and mic
"Headphone Jack Mode" headphone and line out
"Line Out Jack Mode" line out and headphone
"Mic Jack Mode"  - mic and Line in
"Channel Mode" - input jacks/headphone jacks and surround output jacks

e.g. your Gigabyte H87N wifi need retasking of one input jack to support 7.1

Table 1. Impedence sense  of STAC9227 datasheet
The impedance sense table reflects both standard Line Out and Headphone
output drivers. Please reference the HD Audio Universal Jack Application
