No headphone output unless plugged in halfway, works fine in Windows

Hi, my built in speakers on my Asus laptop work fine but when I plug in headphones I get no sound output.  The strange thing is, if I plug the jack in part of the way I can hear some sound.  I have absolutely no idea what is causing this.  I am on Arch x86_64 on a Asus G60vx with the ALC663 audio chipset.

lsmod | grep snd:

snd_seq_dummy           1439  0

soundcore               6153  1 snd
snd_page_alloc          7161  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

In alsamixer there is a headphone channel that is unmuted but I cannot change the volume, and if I look in Gnome's volume control I can check the headphone switch but it does't work whether it is checked or not.

I have exhausted all of google's reqources on this matter I cannot figure it out.  Help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: No headphone output unless plugged in halfway, works fine in Windows

Something VERY strange happened.  After rebooting a couple times the headphone channel disappeared and now the heaphone jack works perfectly and so do the speakers.  I tried some settings so that could of done it but I don't really know.  Mods can close this now.

EDIT:turns out it must have been this line in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode3
