Seem upgrade does not remove previous conf

https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive/ubuntu/hda

Install snd-hda-tools and run hda-jack-sense-test to find out whether rear
Mic Jack , line in and front Mic report correct Jack state when you plugged
and unplugged

If it work in windows, you may need to file an upstream bug report

If rear Mic Jack cannot report correct Jack state,

The workaround is disable Jack detection of rear Mic jack by hda-jack-retask
