(not affected by whether or not headphones are connected at boot time) However front headphone jack is visible (muted) in alsamixer, and volume can be unmuted and raised in current session - returns to muted on reboot. Detail: This desktop PC was previously running trusty with front headphone jack working normally - if audio on rear jack there was audio in headphones. I do not remember now whether the audio volume was separately controlled as a second output device, either would have worked fine for me. Fresh install of wily on a new disk resulted in working rear audio jack, but non-working front headphone jack. The ubuntu Settings>Sound Output tab shows only one device for sound output: "Line Out - Built-in Audio". My expectation is that the volume level of the headphone jack should initially be set to a non-zero level. After exploring various options, I discovered that the front headphone jack is visible in alsamixer but displayed as level 0 and muted. It can be made to work in the current session by unmuting and setting to a non-zero level. Adjusting volume and balance in the ubuntu Settings>Sound Output tab affects the audio output levels to the headphone jack in the way one might expect, but when the settings are changed while alsamixer is open (eg left right balance), the vertical bars for the headphone level do not move as they do for all other output jacks. But when the surround sound profile is changed in the Settings>Sound Output tab, both actual headphone volume and headphone volume bars in alsamixer drop to 0 with muting. In any event, on reboot the jack is muted again and needs to be reset in alsamixer. Following online advice, I unsuccessfully tried various ways to make the unmuted settings survive a reboot - eg running alsamixer under sudo, alsactl store. Eventually I looked at the contents of the /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file and realised that the unmuted state was properly set in the file and was unchanged on reboot. The muting was being caused by pulseaudio. I was able to verify this by unmuting in alsamixer and restarting pulseaudio without rebooting - the output was muted again.
