@Raymond Thanks for your comment and link. I forgot to mention that I have tried to switch "HP/Speaker" and autodetect in alsamixer before submitting this bug but it's not working.

Currently there are only two options: "Digital output(S/PDIF)" and "Speakers". Tried alsamixer and some other suggestions from askUbuntu.com but with no luck.
