   You have the Windows driver. But Windows has ways of rejecting those,   
   so I don't know if a current Windows 10 will accept that driver   
   in the normal way.

   On the Linux side, it is suggested to do the following if the   
   driver is blacklisted and some other driver was tried in its place.   
      
      You can quickfix this with a "sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel"   
      and a "sudo alsactl force-reload' but you still need to   
      remove the blacklisted module in /etc/modprobe.d (which file varies) –

   In addition, apparently some of the behaviors are related to Linux power   
   saving.   
   These would only be of interest, if the previous paragraph was resolved   
   successfully.   
      
      sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf <<<'options snd-hda-intel   
   power_save=0'     # headphones   
      
      sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x02 SET_POWER 0x
