Having similar problems with a Toshiba NB200. As a point of interest here is when the problem started.
Installed 14.04 from scratch. Did the updates. Installed Gnome Flashback. Sound working perfectly at this stage, even after several log outs.
Installed 'libtiff4' via the archives as it was needed to install Canon printerdrivers for MG4200 series. Sound still working at htis stage.
Log out. Still getting sound when switching between accounts which are chosen at log in screen.
Log in, and now no sound.
Insert headphones and notice playback device in 'Sound Settings' changes to headphones, and sound can be heard.
Unplug headphones and device changes back to speakers, and voila ......... sound through the speakers until I log off.
Log back in, and only way to get sound working is to plug, then unplug headphones.

Could this be a fault in initialisation of the sound on a user account?
ie. defaulting to headphones

Title:
  [Inspiron 1470, Realtek ALC272, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I can get perfect sound through headphones, and the kernel recognizes
  the internal speaker, but nothing is ever played through it. I have
  personally tested a pair of earbuds to make sure that sound could play
  through the headphone port, and that isn't a problem. The sound driver
  just refuses to recognize the existence of the speaker, even though
  the kernel does.

  I wouldn't be surprised if the last upstream update had something to
  do with it.
