I used to suffer from a similar problem. Mine was related to the jack daemon.
I ran alsamixer (from terminal) changed all values to 0, plugged AUX jack, then rebooted.
After start up I changed them all back to original values, then rebooted. While rebooting I unplugged jack,. Now sound works.

I know you are probably looking for a permanent solution.

I hope this helps you. If it doesn't, try running lmms, for some reason it invokes sound.

Sorry for poor English.

There's no audio coming out of the laptop. Just installed Ubuntu today. No sound from speakers or headphones. Is there an estimated time it will take to resolve this issue? Thank you.
