The alsamixer solution should work. After you start alsamixer hit F6 then
choose the right sound device. If all is well the Headphone control will
show up and you can maneuver to it, hit m for mute/unmute, increase it's
volume and it will be working. I have to do this every time I reboot.

Once you set alsamixer settings, do

alsactl store

(as root or use sudo).  That will store the settings.  See "man alsactl"

[PLUG] I'm trying to get sound through my headphones.

[Genaro Hernandez]

Hi everyone.

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on an old MacBook. Everything seems fine
except I can't get sound through my headphones. I can only hear audio
through my built-in speakers. Whenever I plug in my headphones, there is no
sound and there is a red light that glows from the jack.

I've searched for a solution online but so far nothing has worked. This
link describes the exact problem but their solution for modifying the file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf did not work for me:
http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/04/headphones-not-working-no-sound-under.html.
This other link also describes a solution by modifying the alsamixer.
However, I do not see a headphone jack listed in the alsamixer.

Does anyone have any suggestion(s) for me? Do you think that upgrading to a
newer version of Ubuntu would fix the problem?
