I have two devices for sound output:
Always when I plug in my headphones or external speakers - for whatever reason - the Digital Output gets selected which means in this case that I have no sound at all.
How can I keep the from system switching the device?

,blacklist snd_hda_intel
andblacklist snd_hda_codec
to the blacklist/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
