Attached. Sorry for gzipping, the alsa-devel rejects two at a time: too large.

It helps, headphones start working.

This helps as well. Yay!
Thanks :) Whatever the outcome, I have them back more or less (more,
for me) properly.

Probably unrelated, but I better mention it anyway: the "Auto-Mute Mode"
works strangely, it never mutes anything but headphones. It might work
as designed, but it is useless in this case: one still has to mute the
speaker manually when plugging headphones (or do something with input
events, which I failed to get to work).

And "Independent HP" has absolutely no effect, which is probably as it
should be on this laptop.
