How about mic playback volume which allow you hear what is recording from
your mic

Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 65
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 62 [95%] [27.00dB] [off]
  Front Right: Playback 62 [95%] [27.00dB] [off]

Node 0x0b [Audio Mixer] wcaps 0x20010b: Stereo Amp-In
  Control: name="CD Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=4, ofs=0
  Control: name="CD Playback Switch", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=4, ofs=0
  Control: name="Line Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=2, ofs=0
  Control: name="Line Playback Switch", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=2, ofs=0
  Control: name="Mic Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=0, ofs=0
  Control: name="Mic Playback Switch", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=0, ofs=0
  Control: name="Beep Playback Volume", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=5, ofs=0
  Control: name="Beep Playback Switch", index=0, device=0
    ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=In, idx=5, ofs=0
  Amp-In caps: ofs=0x23, nsteps=0x41, stepsize=0x03, mute=1
  Amp-In vals:  [0xbe 0xbe] [0x80 0x80] [0x3b 0x3b] [0x80 0x80] [0xbc 0xbc]
[0x38 0x38] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80]
  Connection: 8
     0x18 0x19 0x1a 0x1b 0x1c 0x1d 0x14 0x15

If node 0x18 is the mic jack , can you hear the internal mic 's recording
when you turn on line playback switch ?

It is possible that node 0x15 is the headphone jack since pinctl is OUT ,
but this node is connected to surround playback volume at node 0x0d and HP
amp is not enabled in pin ctls

Node 0x15 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out
  Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1
  Amp-Out vals:  [0x80 0x80]

    Conn = 1/8, Color = Black
    DefAssociation = 0xf, Sequence = 0x0
    Misc = NO_PRESENCE

1) Nothing plugged in: ./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14 SET_PIN_SENSE 0 nid
= 0x14, verb = 0x709, param = 0x0 value = 0x0

./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14 GET_PIN_SENSE 0 nid = 0x14, verb = 0xf09,
param = 0x0 value = 0x7fffffff

2) Headphones plugged in in S/PDIF ./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14
SET_PIN_SENSE 0 nid = 0x14, verb = 0x709, param = 0x0 value = 0x0

./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14 GET_PIN_SENSE 0 nid = 0x14, verb = 0xf09,
param = 0x0 value = 0x7fffffff

3) microphone plugged in 'Mic' ./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14
SET_PIN_SENSE 0 nid = 0x14, verb = 0x709, param = 0x0 value = 0x0

./hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14 GET_PIN_SENSE 0 nid = 0x14, verb = 0xf09,
param = 0x0 value = 0x7fffffff

A returned value of 0x7FFF,FFFF (all 1‟s) indicates that a valid sense
reading is not available, or the sense measurement is busy

Most Significant Bit indicating the state of the Presence Detect
capability.  A 1 indicates that there is “something” plugged into the jack
associated with the Pin Complex 0x80000000

Try node 0x15 and node 0x18
