Ok. What is the issue. You never said.....

Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said : 		#2

Please open a Terminal and run the following command:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Please ADD the following single line at the very end of the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

SAVE the change to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file.

It is NOT a Terminal command, but a line to INSERT into the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file.

Reboot and retest sound using headphones and speakers.

After rebooting, make sure all channels are UNMUTED and volume set to 100% in alsamixer and gnome-alsamixer

I believe your sound card is experiencing the following bug:
