Bug Description

I get thin tinny sound.
On ubuntu 19.10 I was able to work around this by running:
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x14 SET_CONNECT_SEL 0x0c
But that doesn't seem to work on 20.04 and I haven't been able to work out what I need to do to get sound working acceptably.

Played around with hda-analyzer and managed to get half decent sound.

I've added the python code it generated.
But I don't know how to configure things so that the volume keys adjust it.

Attachment of the python should be below.

I saw in another bug that it would help if I ran RtHDDump.exe from windows 10. So I have and that should be attached next. The sounds in windows 10 is _great_.
