Please execute this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal

Step 2: Run the following command (copy/paste the next command into the Terminal and then hit <enter>)

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

REMOVE any previous snd-hda-intel model references in alsa-base.conf, including the following lines, which should be removed:

options snd-hda-intel model=mbp3
options snd-hda-intel model=imac24

ADD these 2 lines to the end of the alsa-base.conf file:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-hp

Save the change to the alsa-base.conf, reboot and retest sound using headphones and speakers.

If those alsa-base.conf options don't work, please try one of these model options instead

(ONLY ONE model option at a time, not several at the same time!):
