ALC4080 0b05:1999 (ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi): front Headphones output works but is disabled by HeadphonesName ""

alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #830 was opened from stephensedge:

### Summary

On the **ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi** (ALC4080-over-USB, `0b05:1999`) in a standard desktop case, the front-panel headphone output is fully functional — but the UCM profile deliberately hides it via `HeadphonesName ""` in the `If.asus-rog-strix` block of `ucm2/USB-Audio/Realtek/ALC4080-HiFi.conf`. Removing that line makes the front headphones work out of the box, with working jack detection.

### Environment

- Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-A GAMING WIFI (BIOS 1202), standard case with front-panel HD-audio header wired to a combo headset jack
- USB device: `0b05:1999 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB Audio` (ALC4080)
- alsa-lib / alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.16.1 (Fedora 44), PipeWire/WirePlumber

### Evidence the hardware works

The codec exposes a front-headphone playback path on PCM device 1 with a functional jack sensor:

```
$ amixer -c 2 controls | grep -i jack
numid=32,iface=CARD,name='Headphone - Output Jack'
...
```

With headphones plugged into the front jack, the sensor reports correctly:

```
$ amixer -c 2 cget numid=32
  : values=on        # off when unplugged — detection works
```

And audio plays out of the front jack:

```
$ amixer -c 2 cset "name='PCM Playback Switch',index=1" on
$ speaker-test -D plughw:2,1 -c 2 -t sine -f 440 -l 2   # audible on front headphones
```

After deleting the `HeadphonesName ""` line from the `If.asus-rog-strix` block, PipeWire exposes a "Front Headphones" sink alongside "Speakers"; both route correctly, and port availability follows the jack sensors as expected.

### Why the quirk exists (I think)

The block was added in d771df03 ("Add: 0b05:1999 ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi", from PR #247), whose commit message notes the board "is recognized as a thelio-mira-b1 by system76". The System76 Thelio chassis has no front-panel audio wired, which would explain why the original submitter blanked the Headphones device — on their machine the jack physically doesn't exist.

But that's a chassis property, not a board/codec property. On a Thelio, the `Headphone - Output Jack` control simply stays `off`, so with the Headphones device enabled the port would just show as unavailable — jack detection already handles the unwired case gracefully.

### Suggested fix

Remove `HeadphonesName ""` from the `If.asus-rog-strix` (`0b05:1999`) block:

```diff
 If.asus-rog-strix {
 	Condition {
 		Type RegexMatch
 		String "${CardComponents}"
 		Regex "USB(0b05:1999)"
 	}
 	True.Define {
 		Line1PCM "3"
-		HeadphonesName ""
 	}
 }
```

I'm running with exactly this change locally and everything (front headphones, rear speakers, jack detection, profile switching) behaves correctly. Happy to provide `alsa-info` output or test patches.
