Oh okay. Start hda-anaylizer, go through the list of pins and look for
one mentioning something like "ext,external, rear, headphone, speaker".
If you find one, look if the checkmark is set at "IN". If so, deactivate
it and set a mark at "OUT". Maybe you also have to unmute the channel.
That's how I found mine.

Good luck!
Mario
