I am using Dell Alienware M14X. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. The problem that I am facing is that the audio plays only through speakers all the time even I though I plug in my headphone.

When I go to sound settings, it is showing me headphones in the "play sound through" which means that my system is able to detect the headphones; But just the audio doesn't play through the headphones, instead it still plays through speaker.

Run the following command into the Terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Scroll down and add these lines to the end of the file:

#Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6-amic

Then, save , reboot and test sound using headphones and speakers.
