Since this was happening in the pre-installed Windows as well, I finally
convinced myself that this couldn't be (purely) a software issue and
contacted HP support. Thankfully I bought extended warranty including
on-site support, so today a technician came, and after he exchanged the
audio board, everything's working as expected out of the box in both
OSs. Thanks to everyone who made that possible in Linux, and especially
to you Takashi-san for trying to help me with this problem, which turned
out to be unsolvable in software.
