Trying workaround from #580006

[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

Please try installing the package linux-alsa-driver-modules-generic from the Ubuntu Audio Dev PPA, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive and reboot your system. Once rebooted, please report back as to whether your issue is fixed.

Could you also tell us a little more about what kind of jack sense doesn't work, i.e do your internal speakers not mute wen you connect headphones, internal microphone not muting when connecting external mic, etc.

Thanks.

I tested the two cases, before installing from ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa:

1. Headphone jack sense:
The internal speakers are not muted, when I connect the headphones

2. Microphone jack sense
The internal microphone is not muted, when I connect an external
microphone. In fact, the external microphone does not capture any
audio. (Tested with gnome-volume-control, audacity and Skype).

Will test again, when I have installed from the ppa
