thank You for your report. I think it pointed in the right
direction. Regrettably, the list on

  https://docs.kernel.org/sound/hd-audio/models.html

does not provide much information what setting model could be the
right one for my soundcard. I tried several ones but found no improvement.

(But maybe this finding is not valid because possibly snd_hda_intel
and all other modules that deal with sound need to be removed from the
kernel before module snd_hda_intel is loaded again with another
setting for option for model.

In a newer documentation, I found that model can be specified with the
identification codes for vendor and product. They appear in the output of

  lspci-nnk | grep -A3 -i audio

  00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series 
          Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1c20] (rev 05)
          Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:8410]
          Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
          Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

Therefore, I introduced this line in my modprobe configuration

  options snd_hda_intel model=8086:1c20

To my disappointment, this changed nothing as well. 


Fields for further investigations could be

- the tools in the Package alsa-ucm-conf. But this package has been
  automatically installed with alsa and apparenty did not avoid the
  problem with my soundcard. Maybe the soundcard is too old.

- the hdajackretask in package alsa-tools-gui.

Best regards
Markus
