Using the diff viewer 'meld' I can see the following 10 changes:

 1. Node 0x04 and 0x05 have their Converter stream set to 0 (was 8).
 2. Control at Node 0x0d is renamed from "Surround Playback Volume" to "Speaker Playback Volume".
 3. Controls at Node 0x0e "Center Playback Volume" and "LFE Playback Volume" are removed.
 4. Control at Node 0x0f "Speaker Playback Volume" is removed.
 5. At Node 0x14 the asterisk (*) at Connection is moved from 0x0f to 0x0d, reflecting the change at 2. and 4.
 6. Node 0x15 for headphone has different Pin Default settings.
 7. Control "Surround Playback Switch" is removed from Node 0x18.
 8. Controls "Center Playback Switch" and "LFE Playback Switch" are removed from Node 0x19.
 9. At Amixer output "Controls" changed from 29 to 22 and "Simple ctrls" went from 22 to 12.
 10. Simple mixer controls "Surround", "Center", "LFE" and "Channel Mode" are removed.

To sum it up: all controls for surround are removed and control for speaker playback volume is moved from 0x0f to 0x0d. Headphone has different Pin Default settings.

Odd how merely checking a checkbox in hda-jack-retask can change all this. Still I'm not sure which change (combination) is responsible for my audio to work again.

What should be the next step to isolate the cause? And how can we get a solution that works out of the box (no hda-jack-retask needed)?
