Dummy Output after plugging in headphones XPS 15

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 9550

I have reinstalled Arch multiple times to fix this issue but I want to resolve this the right way.

On a fresh install of Arch, sound works great. The laptop speakers work but when you plug in headphones, it's a hit or miss. Sometimes sound plays out of the headphones, sometimes they don't. If they don't doing a restart fixes it for once or twice. But usually on the 3rd time, my sound cards won't list the normal Headphones and Speakers, but Dummy Output instead. Any assistance? This has been driving me nuts for the past 2 months.

I have tried (as the wiki told me to do):

• Removing FluidSynth:

pacman -Rdd fluidsynth

because pacman -R fluidsynth would give me this error

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gst-plugins-bad: removing fluidsynth breaks dependency 'fluidsynth'

My configuration and outputs:

aplay -l
 aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

My asound.conf:

                              
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
} 

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}

# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf has this configuration in it (I don't think this is correct I do not understand how all of this works):

options snd_hda_intel enable=1 index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1
