@kaihengfeng: I found the problem was only really noticeable with earbuds. Headphones tended to hide the problem.
Although it's also worth noting the workaround 'amixer -c 0 set 'Headphone Mic Boost',0 1' sounds like it's working because it actually reduces the audio output volume/gain. With the workaround enabled, ALL audio is quieter so (like using big headphones) the problem could become unnoticeable just because of that. So saying the problem and the solution are directly related to 'Headphone Mic Boost' might be a red herring.
