Yes, I ran the script, twice even. I could hear a silent pop and a slightly lower white noise when I ran it, but the problem still persists (rebooted the computer once after running the script)
As soon as I use any software that wakes up the sound card the loud white noise in the headphones is back.

Title:
  [XPS 12-9Q33, Realtek ALC668, Black Headphone Out, Left] Background
  noise or low volume

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

Bug description:
  When listening to sound on my laptop through headphones, there's a
  constant background hiss (which disappears only when all sound has
  been stopped for a few seconds. power saving I guess).

  I also need to turn the volume *way* down to 10% for the sound volume
  to be reasonable (it's way too loud otherwise).
