I tried his configuration, but still cannot make my headphone jack work.
I googled and found a kext called alcplugfix, but I am not sure if this will solve my problem.
Do you have some more advices?

i have used this before:

GitHub - Sniki/ALCPlugFix: An updated version of ALCPlugFix for Lenovo ThinkPad(s) with Realtek ALC3232 Audio Codec

you may need to research the hda-verb for your codec though to make it work correctly

I removed Realtex driver from Windows and it magically made my hackintosh recognize my headphone. However, the output audio is fully distorted, with the sound of internal current, which still stops me from using my headphone.
Do you have some advice on this problem?

yes, i have had the same issue on mine

i basically used CodecCommander.kext along with hda-verb which sorted it out

when the audio was not good on headphone and i had hda-verb installed, in terminal i did:

hda-verb 0x19 SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x25

and then the audio was perfect

you may need to test a different command though

Thank you for your sincere help!
I used the fix script with hda-verb here and nearly completely solved the problem: https://github.com/jardenliu/ALC298PlugFix
Although there exists small (but acceptable) noise of internal current on my headphone.

I have identified a temporary fix within the OS.

Select 'Line In' under System Preferences - this clears up the distortion.

Sometimes the distortion comes back if you click this window away, so minimize the window while keeping 'Line In' highlighted.

I am using layout-id 29.

Have tried codeccommander, hda-verb etc and they never worked for me.

I've had clean audio with the above temporary fix.
