[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

Can you clarify which sound device you're trying to use (the topic says HDMI, but then you mention headphone jack)?

If you're trying to use the HDMI audio, you should add "radeon.audio=1" to your kernel boot line in /etc/default/grub (and then run sudo update-grub).

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so does not expect a backport
