Hello everyone, I am new to Linux and I have been unable to use my headphones since I started using it. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 on a Sager NP8651 (which is a Cleve P650SE) which uses the Realtek ALC892 for audio. It seems to me that my headphones are not detected when inserted into the jack. Audio comes out of the laptop's speakers just fine, but audio does not switch over to my headphones when plugged in. I have scoured the internet for a solution, but I have not found one that works. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Fire up pavucontrol and select the proper output device from the drop-down menu
Had no problems with realtek audio on my last two boards, so it should be a settings related thing.

yup, open your sound settings
When I open up the standard sound settings only my speakers and S/PDIF outputs are available. In pavucontrol lineout is available but is listed as unplugged.
Hmm, try running
$ alsactl init
and see if it resolves the issue, if alsactl isnt found, install alsa-utils & try again
alsactl init returned this:
