I have checked alsamixer and PulseAudio settings, but still cannot get any sound out of headphone jack…when I look at PulseAudio setting, is see sound volume theoretically going to headphones, but hear nothing.
Any works of advice here…I picked HDA Intel PCH card in the AlsaMixer…my chipset is Cirrus Logic CS4206.

Mark
You may try some force:
sudo alsa force-reload
If this does not resolve, you could reinstall alsa and pulseaudio:

sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
Then
sudo alsa force-reload
