Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.13 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

If HDMI is selected and the cable removed the dialog shows that Speakers are selected. But there is no audio. To actually output audio to speakers one needs to click some other output ("Simultaneous output ...") and then again on Speakers. The expected behaviour would be to actually play audio on the speakers without the need to switch forth and back. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.10 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: brain 2435 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: brain 2435 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=5165b586-2b44-4e4b-be49-177090e3b609 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-26 (819 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
