>> With debugging still enabled, I plugged in cables to the motherboard rear audio ports and it showed plugged events for 'Rear Mic Jack' and 'Line Jack', but not for the any of the Front/Center/Rear/Side audio out jacks (so I assume either the hardware or the default ALSA/PulseAudio config does not do jack detection for those).
