Summary	0009867: ALC257 (HDA NID 0x19) reports TRRS jack disconnected while headphone playback remains active
Description	On Kali Linux 2026.3 with a Realtek ALC257, a connected TRRS headset is incorrectly reported as disconnected. HDA Node `0x19` returns `GET_PIN_SENSE = 0x0` and ALSA reports `Headphone Jack` as off, while headphone audio remains functional and the ALSA PCM is `RUNNING`.
