Can you attach the log file create when running:

pw-dump >log

pw-dump output

`pw-dump` with pulseaudio running, hope that's ok.
Comment 8 ojab 2021-02-05 22:18:24 UTC 
And I finally found time to investigate how to use `alsaucm`, `alsaucm -c sklnau8825adi set _verb Headphone-Profile` doesn't work either. The card is stuck with default/HiFi profile.
Comment 9 ojab 2021-02-05 22:44:08 UTC 
Okay, I'm taking it back. `alcaucm` makes profile stuck on HiFi even with pulseaudio installed, so after single `alsaucm -c sklnau8825adi set _verb Headphone-Profile` I can't make `pactl set-card-proifile` work until reboot.
But after reboot `pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.platform-skl_n88l25_s4567 Headphone-Profile` & `pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.platform-skl_n88l25_s4567 HiFi` switch profiles as usual.

I have no idea how audio routing works this days and who pretends to be whom (it's _alsa_ucm, right?), but apparently `pactl` does something different from `alsaucm`. Hope that helps.
