I'm not saying what is 0x1a node or 0x1b node or not, i'm only saying
that changing this parameters in 0x1a node configuration in HDA_Analyzer
made a change in headphones, and doing it in 0x1b do something in
speakers, and with hda-jack-sense-test for example, i have always this
output:

$ sudo hda-jack-sense-test 
[sudo] password for ******: 
Pin 0x1b (Green Line Out): present = No
Pin 0x1f (Pink Mic): present = Yes

(Both are plugged)

I copy the text dump in both cases, i don't understand a lot of things
here, but i'm giving all the best information to give us light about the
problem and for learn something and search what is happening in this
case with this hardware. If only i had mixer control of the headphones
volume, it would work in a reasonable functionaly, like in the past with
AD198x, and the rest would be details.

But about your suggest to use hdajackretask, i don't have any "HP"
option in any of the options (including the advanced), i only see the
"HP" option like i said above in HDA_Analyzer. And 0x1a is not connected
but because i haven't that "HP" option i don't know what to do. If you
give me a more specific changes to test... In the first try, I mess i
little with hdajackretask and the only thing i get is broke the KDE
Mixer until i restart the computer, and in the second try, i have always
this message "tee: /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig: Dispositivo o
recurso ocupado" (Busy) and this terminal output:

(Although, if i close and enter again in the program the options are remembered, i don't know if it means they are saved anyway!)
I will upload hdajackretask' screenshot without any change to guide you, maybe it can help.

Remembering some testing i do, i put appart the default model option, and i add in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd". With this model i have, by default, sound through the headphones (with master volume control) and not through the speakers, and also appears Internal Mic along with the jack Mic what is always missing. I will upload alsa-info with laptop-eapd option.
The problems in this case, i don't have sound in speakers, but with HDA_Analyzer i can brought back it, in Node 0x1b PIN -> Output Amplifier -> Unmuting and rising volume for both VAL[0] and VAL[1], BUT if it should be with the green jack unplugged and the sound comes through the speakers, but if i plug it comes to headphones (it's normal) but if i unplug it again the sound doesn't come throught speakers again until i click with the mouse in another node in HDA_Analyzer and click again in Node 0x1b (some refreshing?). Another detail is when i do this with the green jack plugged, when i unplug it, the sound comes to the speakers for less than a second until it mutes. It remembered me the hda-jack-sense-test, when it said the Green Line Out is always NO present.

Before:

Node 0x1b [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400185: Stereo Amp-Out
  Control: name="Speaker Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=1, idx=0, ofs=0

After:

  Pincap 0x0001001f: OUT HP EAPD Detect Trigger ImpSense
  EAPD 0x2: EAPD
  Pin Default 0x01014010: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear
    Conn = 1/8, Color = Green

  Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT
  Unsolicited: tag=0x00, enabled=0
  Connection: 1
     0x0b

Another problem with laptop-eapd, it is Internal mic is not directly
used when i plug out jack pink, i need to pick in KDE system preferences
what microphone use by default (Internal mic or jack mic) and it works
in this case. However in Audacity although i pick "Mic" or "Internal
Mic", the only what works is the one i selected in system preferences,
the other is muted.

I'm sorry for that bunch of information... but i want (and i need to)
fix it or, at least, find the solution.

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.
