First, i found today that the "Master" Volume works with the speakers as
expected, and doesn't with the headphones like i said yesterday, when i
missed this detail.

Second, i found too other bug reports related to this, but that
bugzilla.kernel report it's very near, but i can't trust it because they
are talking about other specific notebook, and i don't know if that work
for me. But i will to read and test all info to apply and to find
solutions to my problem. And maybe, bugzilla kernel should be the site
for this report, or not?

Third, your solution with hdajackretask (with advanced override
activated), i don't have in jack any "HP" option, and there isn't any
0x1a connected. Green Line Out is 0x1b. Maybe i need to config to use
another AD1986A model (laptop-automute?) and not the default? Maybe PINs
0x1a (headphones) and 0x1b (speakers) are inverted and 0x1a jack
detection isn't detection properly (see hda-jack-sense-test above)?

I don't know it it's related: In hda_analyzer, 0x1a HP option is
enables, but in 0x1b HP option is disables, but both don't make any
differences.

At least the only thing i have to came now for the basic functionality
is the mixer for the headphones, because all the other changes in
hda_analyzer are working. I want to put the original text dump of
hda_analyzer in the affected pins, it could be useful:

Changes:

Title:
  Easynote MX65, AD1986A, No sound output in speakers/headphones, some
  with tricks

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a fresh install of KUbuntu 14.10 with this problem and i come
  of a KUbuntu 13.10 without problems.

  I don't have any sound from speakers or headphone, i think the driver
  isn't loaded, but the microphone works, it records. The sound playback
  works too, but the sound doesn't go through speakers or headphones.

  I was testing with a lot of LiveCD KUbuntu when the problem comes.
  With LiveCDs KUbuntu 12.04.5 LTS, 12.10, 13.04 the sound works, they
  configs the sound system as "HDA Intel AD198x". Since LiveCDs 13.10,
  14.04.1 LTS and, of course, 14.10 Live CD and my install, i have this
  problem, because the sound system is now "AD1986A". I will attach the
  alsa-info output for all this systems in my computer.

  But with HDA_Analyzer http://www.alsa-
  project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer i found the details of the
  problem: i can create a python script to brought back the sound
  working in a basic mode, like as previously. The details are
  activating EAPD in Card 0, Codec 0, Node 0x1b PIN (In my computer, it
  could be different in another) what brought back the sound to the
  speakers, and unmuting "Output Amplifier" in Card 0, Codec 0, Node
  0x1a VAL[0] and VAL[1] to brought back sound to the headphones when
  they are plugged. I will attach too the output of this diff and the
  python script created by HDA_Analyzer for my system.

  At least, the basic working state should be back, because with a
  untoching fresh install there isn't any sound. There are related bugs
  here and other post in internet, but i collected all information i
  found and can give more if it's necessary.

  For additional information: Searching the solution, i tested too all
  the models availables for HDA Intel AD1986A (editing /etc/modprobe.d
  /alsa-base.conf with AD1986A models /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver
  /HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz) and i found the default one doesn't fit my
  system and anothers are better, but have problems of no sound too and
  i don't found how to fix these problem. When this bug is corrected, i
  want to help to found a better model for my computer, i don't know how
  now, but first it brought back the sound. Also, i test with snd-hda-
  tools https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive/ubuntu/hda and with hda-
  jack-sense-test the Green Line Out sense doesn't work (always NO
  present) but the Pink Mic sense works without problems.
