I have Intel HDA Audio on my motherboard (Asus P9X79 PRO). This

Has anyone successfully retasked an audio jack (specifically, on my
motherboard, the blue Line Out jack) to a headphone?
I found a post on pulseaudio-discuss re. this hda-jack-retask program
which seems to imply it can be done, but it didn't seem to work (I
didn't try every available combination however):
Did you try the version of this that is now included in the "alsa-tools"
package
in Fedora? It's called "hdajackretask", without the dashes. According to
the
changelog in that Ubuntu package, the alsa-tools version and the Ubuntu PPA
version are now identical.
The alsa-tools version works for me, but only if I use the "Install boot
override" function and reboot. The "Apply now" function appears to do
nothing,
as far as I can tell. :-(
Thanks for pointing out this exists BTW. Even just having this work on reboot
is pretty useful to me. :-)
