Bug Description

Audio works fine through built-in speakers, doesn't work with headphones plugged in. This is related to the 15.04 release, as they previously worked fine. I've tested with other headphones just in case!

Just the one headphone jack - there's a docking station port on the base of the laptop but I don't have or use one.

Should also mention that plugging the headphones in is detected by the OS: in the sound settings dialog the output changes from "Speakers/built in audio" to "Headphones/built in audio" when I plug them in.

It looks like it is going to be fixed upstream:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106961

...but from alsa-info attachment (here on launchpad), I can see that the fix may not work for your PC. The subsystem ID is slightly different. Mine is 0x103c1473, yours is 0x103c146f. Please try the proposed patch from bugzilla comments (link above). If it doesn't work, try the proposed patch with your value 0x103c146f and if this works, report it to the bugzilla.kernel.org so the upstream fix will work for you, too.
