Public bug reported:

Sound comes out of the headphones when I insert the jack, but does NOT
come out of the speakers when I unplug it. This includes sound from any
source, including aplay.

This is a newly installed Lubuntu daily build (Lubuntu 15.10 "Wily
Werewolf" - Alpha i386 20151017.1). If I go back to running from the
Live USB install media, the sound works fine from the speakers OR the
headphones, as expected.

As suggested by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure I have tried:
* killing and reloading pulseaudio and alsa-mixer 
* purging (.config/) .pulse/ then killing/reloading and rebooting
* installing and reinstalling pavucontrol linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils libasound2

In the installed version I notice that in Volume Control (pavucontrol)
the output switches automatically between headphones and speaker when
the jack is plugged and unplugged - as one would expect - and in
alsamixer I can see the inactive device being muted automatically.
However the speaker never issues any sound :(  On the contrary in the
live usb I notice that alsamixer leaves both outputs active (unmuted)
and simply relies on the microswitch in the headphone jack to control
whether the speaker can be heard or not.

For reference I past the output of the FAILING test case's alsa-info.sh
below and attach the output of the WORKING test case's alsa-info.sh
