If you run:

alsamixer

Are all levels cranked and unmuted?

You are running kernel 3.5.0-61-generic which is pretty old now.

I suggest installing linux-image-3.13.0-62-generic in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and then booting kernel version 3.13.0-61-generic

Furthermore, I suggest REMOVING the following configuration line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
  :

model=PCM

Remove the entire line containing model=PCM in your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file and save the change to the file.

I do not think that PCM is a valid model option.

And after upgrading to kernel linux-image-3.13.0-62-generic, reboot into linux-image-3.13.0-62-generic

Test all audio jacks at the front and the back of your PC.

After rebooting, make sure ALL mixer channels are unmuted and have volume set to 100%

Then retest sound output using headphones and speakers.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Senthil Kumar for more information if necessary.
