[Inspiron 5459, Realtek ALC3234, Black Headphone Out, Front] No sound at all

[Oscar Salgado]

Hi all.

I recently upgraded Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and headphones not working.

Apparently, this is the same bug

http://askubuntu.com/questions/773431/headphones-not-working-in-16-04

My dmesg:

[ 16.757309] input: HDA Intel PCH Headphone Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0/input8

I appreciated your help!
