No Sound on Ubuntu 12.04
After I installed Ubuntu 12.04, there are no sound at all on my headphone (rear jack panel).
On Sound settings > playback, it seemed that the sounds were detected after I choose 'play sound'.
Anybody can fix this issue??
Thanks.

I just did Step 1 and then reboot my laptop and the sound works.
If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 or later, then execute this command and reboot:
Carefully read and understand what these commands do. For instance, the sudo apt-get install command includes the entire Ubuntu desktop. This will likely create problems for users of the other flavors of Ubuntu -- a Kubuntu user would not want the Unity interface installed. While the outcome of running the suggested command string below may indeed fix certain sound problems, be aware that it is a very blunt approach and could result in unintended consequences.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; \
sudo apt-get update; \
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; \
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm \
ubuntu-desktop linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2; \
sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base \
alsa-utils gdm ubuntu-desktop linux-image-`uname -r` \
libasound2; \
killall pulseaudio; \
rm -r ~/.pulse*; \
sudo \
usermod -aG $( \
cat /etc/group | \
grep -e '^pulse:' -e '^audio:' -e '^pulse-access:' \
-e '^pulse-rt:' -e '^video:' | \
awk -F: '{print $1}' | \
tr '\n' ',' | \
sed 's:,$::g' \
) $(whoami)
Paste the whole code block into your terminal with CTRL-SHIFT-V, then press enter.
Try this:
sudo killall pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload
