The easy way is to use Takashi 's daily snapshot
since there are a few patches related to alc892

you have to ask nvidia hdmi expert or asus forum

As you have specifed in BIOS setup that "Front Panel Connector" is [AC97]
and the BIOS seem set "Misc=NO_PRESENCE"

why does the driver still create
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input4 for jack reporting ?
