Ubuntu and no sound in headphones

Hello,

please help :) after some hours of fight I got stucked with strange (and utfg-resistant :)) issue.

Situation: Xubuntu 14.04 and netbook Asus EEE, Guitar > USB soundcard > JACK routing > Intel sound card > "rock'n'roll" :). Everything works fine while using speaker. But when I connect headphones (note:Asus EEE has one imput for headphones or mic - dono if it's important), laptop is left mute and I am not able to get any sound out of it. It is also the same after plugging headphones out again, only restart helps.

- I check alsamixer, no mute or low volume there.
- Routing in JACK goes to system, withnout headphones conected it works ok.

After some research I find out that it can be somehow connected with change of sound card channel after headphones connection. But I am nto sure about it and I also wasn't able to find proper setting by trial-and-error method.

Any help appreciated (mostly by my neighbohours ;)). Thanks in advance!

I can't offer any help, but I have similar problems. Sometimes everything is fine, I can plug my headphone in and out without any troubles and sometimes it just won't switch to headphones.
