On all Ubuntu versions I ran before on the same hardware, I never had this problem. Last distribution I used was 11.04 (I skipped 11.10, now I am on 12.04). This was a clean install, no upgrade. On those previous versions, I could simply switch the audio output from speakers to headphones and back by plugging resp. unplugging the headphones. This no longer works in 12.04, but the behavior depends on whether the headphones are plugged in during boot or not. Phones plugged during boot: Sound is on headphones when plugged in. No sound when unplugged. Phones not plugged during boot: Sound is on speakers when no headphones are plugged. Sound on both headphones and speakers when plugging headphones.
