Please execute step 2, then send us the full terminal output from step 3 and step 4 from this procedure:

Please try this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following command (copy/paste command into the Terminal
and then hit <enter>)

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

In gedit, scroll down and ADD this line to the end of the
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-vostro

Then save the change to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file.

Similar headphones issue was reported here:
