I'm using a GA-Z87X-UD3H, see http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=435c404946687b445f6c60da5edc5c3f083bc1da for more. Using the green output at the back of motherboard, the sound is choppy. If i use the front-panel-output of my motherboard with a headphone the sound is crystal clear. If i use the green output at the back and plugging the headphone to the front-microfone input. The sound gets also crystal clear on the green-output at the back. This behavior can be reproduced on any Linux distri. CentOS 6.4, openSUSE 12.3/13.1, Fedora 19/20, Ubuntu 12.04/13.10 and Debian. The sound works out of the box on FreeBSD 9.2 and Windows 8.1
post the pulseaudio verbose log when you plugged the headphone do your computer chassis have hda front audio panel or AC97 audio panel ? /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/driver_pin_configs: 0x1c 0x993301f0 the driver may need to differentiate alc889 and alc898 when apply CD fixup since you motherboard have same pci ssid SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1458, 0xa002, "Gigabyte EP45-DS3", ALC889_FIXUP_CD), [ 5.665166] snd_hda_intel: unknown parameter 'indep_hp' ignored do you think the driver should enable independent HP for those motherboard with 10 channels DAC and four line out jacks by default ?
The log can be found here: http://www.hamich.net/files/pulseverbose_linux.log Some more observations: -using the front audio port with my headphone, every 5 seconds a burst is coming out of my green-audio-port at the back. The burst seems to be a very short part of the audio stream playback. - under FreeBSD the front-panel does not work at all. That could be the reason the sound works perfect there, out of the green-port. >do your computer chassis have hda front audio panel or AC97 audio panel ? Both options are possible, i am using the hda connector. >[ 5.665166] snd_hda_intel: unknown parameter 'indep_hp' ignored >do you think the driver should enable independent HP for those motherboard with >10 channels DAC and four line out jacks by default ? I was just using this option for testing purpose. I do not need it ;)
i think it is the same problem like this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1248116 The audio source is switching very fast ... if i plug in the headphone to one front port the rate is just slowed down to every 5 seconds.
seem jack detection problem as headphone is changing from "plugged in" to "unplugged" you should check the front audio panel connector of the motherboard and your computer chassis front audio panel the alternative is to set Misc = NO_PRESENCE (bit 8) of pin default of the headphone node by hda-verb or hdajackretask ( 0.779| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Front Headphone Jack' is now plugged in ( 0.779| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] device-port.c: Setting port analog-output-headphones to status yes ( 0.780| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-port-available.c: finding port analog-output-headphones ( 0.780| 0.000) I: [pulseaudio] sink.c: Changed port of sink 1 "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo" to analog-output-headphones ( 0.801| 0.019) D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Front Headphone Jack' is now unplugged ( 0.801| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] device-port.c: Setting port analog-output-headphones to status no ( 0.801| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-port-available.c: finding port analog-output-headphones ( 0.801| 0.000) D: [alsa-sink-ALC898 Analog] alsa-mixer.c: Activating path analog-output-lineout 1.910| 1.109) D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Front Headphone Jack' is now plugged in ( 1.910| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] device-port.c: Setting port analog-output-headphones to status yes ( 1.910| 0.000) D: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-port-available.c: finding port analog-output-headphones ( 1.910| 0.000) D: [alsa-sink-ALC898 Analog] alsa-mixer.c: Activating path analog-output-headphones
Thx for your help! I unplugged the front audio panel, problem still present! hdajackretask fixed the noise(yeahh!), but is this a solution for the problem?

( plugged and unplgged several times within same second in pulseaudio log ) may be related to unsolicited event of the headphone pin complex if the problem still present after you unplugged the front audio panel from the front audio panel connector of the motherboard Suppose you built your kernel with the tracing support. See "Tracepoints" option in https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/plain/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt The hd-audio driver gives a few basic tracepoints. `hda:hda_send_cmd` traces each CORB write while `hda:hda_get_response` traces the response from RIRB (only when read from the codec driver). `hda:hda_bus_reset` traces the bus-reset due to fatal error, etc, `hda:hda_unsol_event` traces the unsolicited events echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/hda/hda_unsol_event/enable cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace check the trace to find out whether multiple unsol events are issued when the headphone is plugged
