Comment 39 for bug 460330

Yea same problem here but I never noticed because I never use headphones.

As for the laptop=eapd:

It's the setting for a Clevo M540JE, M550JE that seems to work OK for our model.

I guess that ALSA never made support for certain models with the 883 codec.

Here is where it gets depressing.

Looks like if we want decent working sound we better learn to program.
