Weirdly enough, after I commented out the line and rebooted I still got audio through the headphone jack. I am running an updated kernel - as I was not getting full hardware support on the one right out of the box. There were some issues with my laptop doc / usb devices.
Linux audio has always been an achilles heal in any distribution. Has anyone else came across this issue? Below is all of my information:
