Ok I rebooted Ubuntu with headphones plugged in. I went to System Settings->Sound and confirmed that everything looked fine. However, when I tried to play sound from youtube in Google Chrome there was no sound. I rechecked that the sound was not muted, and that 'aplay -l' showed correct output. I then unplugged the headphones, and sound started to work ( from the speakers ). Then I replugged the headphones, and I got the popup dialog, and then sound started to work from the headphones also. Everything looking fine so far. I then tried to unplug and replug the headphones a few times. Working fine. I will now try to reboot Ubuntu with headphones unplugged.

The audio controller on the laptop is a Realtek ALC3246 with Waves MaxxAudio Pro. The external interface connector is a microphone in/stereo headphones/external speakers connector. When I select "System Settings->Sound" the output device in the dialog window shows as "Dummy Output" and when I press the "Test Sound" button no sound is heard from either front left or front right speaker ( I have ensured sound is not muted ). Note: Before reinstalling, I asked a question on askubuntu,com: http://askubuntu.com/q/841759/156688 So reinstallation of Ubuntu 16.10 did not help on my sound problem.
