As I can see, Speaker pin has neither muter nor volume control. In such 
case driver usually tries to disable pin OUT control to silent it. 
Previous driver does it same way, because of quirks. New driver should 
do it automatically, but it doesn't because of broken codec 
configuration (see below).

Did I understand right that on headphone connection speaker volume is 
decreasing? May be hardware itself just disables power amplifier on jack 
connection, but it does not disconnects it completely, neither the 
driver does.

Your BIOS writes completely broken configuration into the codec. You 
should update it or use device hints to fix the situation.

mic alone, no problem, let it be.

Speaker, fine.

Line-out. It pretend to work as rear channel pair. If it should work as 
headphones with speaker auto mute it should have "Speaker" device type 
and seq=15.

SPDIF-out. It pretend to work as center/sub channels. That's why it 
activates when you playing audio. I would recommend you do move it to 
separate association to use it properly.

Line-in. Strange that it is placed to the same association as SPDIF-in. 
UAA specification strictly denies it! I would move it to as=1, it will 
fix both.

> hdac0:  Pin nid=17 seq=2

SPDIF-in. Driver unable to use it now as it can;t be routed to the same 
DAC with Line-in.

Here you can see how driver processed this situation.
