Public bug reported: To begin with, sound worked nicely (through Speakers) with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The laptop is an aging Fujitsu P7210.
With (X)ubuntu 13.04 I can only get sound through headphones. Speakers don't give any sound, even though selected as output from the "Volume Control" application. The automatic selection of output based on headphone jack does work (plug headphone -> Headphone is automatically selected in Volume Control app). Alsamixer command line application shows separate controls for Headphone and Speaker, where the Speaker is the only one which has a volume bar. Strangely the volume of the headphones can be controller in alsamixer from the "Line" volume. Muting/unmuting Speaker from alsamixer has no effect, nor does using it's volume slider. I have tried to select intel hda audio model (auto, basic, fujitsu) in alsa module configuration (/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf), but that doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
