+## Preconditions
+# USB relay switch is available and configured.
+# Jack detection header should be connected to the USB relay switch
+# to the port HURTM_2 (NC) connector.
+
+## Test Description
+# Verify jack detection functionality by simulating plugging and unplugging
+# of audio jack using a USB relay switch.
+# The unplugging and plugging of the jack will be during playback operations
+# to ensure the system can handle jack detection events correctly.
+# The test will check if the jack detection status is updated correctly
+# when the jack is plugged in and unplugged.
+
+## Case Steps
+# 1. Ensure the USB relay switch is configured to control the jack detection header.
+# 2. Ensure the aplay (playback) command works properly.
+# 3. Set the USB relay switch to state on (1), simulate unplugging the headset from the jack.
+# 4. Check the jack detection status via amixer. The status should indicate **off**.
+# 5. Check if the aplay process is still running after unplugging the jack.
+#    If the process is not running, the test fails.
+#    If the process is still running, continue to the next step.
+# 6. Set the USB relay switch to state off (0), simulate plugging the headset.
+# 7. Check the jack detection status via amixer. The status should indicate **on**.
+# 8. Check if the aplay process is still running after plugging the jack.
+#    If the process is not running, the test fails.
+#    If the process is still running, continue to the next step.
+# 9. Terminate the aplay process.
+# 10. Check if the aplay process is terminated successfully.
+#    If the process is still running, the test fails.
+#    If the process is terminated successfully, the test passes.
+# 11. Check dmesg for any unexpected errors.
+#
+# Repeat steps 3-11 for all pcm jack playback devices.
