I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on Zotac ID84
sudo aplay -l:

sudo aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav:
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
the sound is really played on the speakers!
But in the list of devices on PulseAudio GUI control panel I see only
- Digital Output (S/PDIF)
- HDMI / DisplayPort
When I select HDMI, I hear sound through HDMI correctly. When I select Digital Output, I hear nothing (as expected). Can somebody tell me please how to find the "Analog Output" option?
UPDATE I reinstalled the system from scratch. Now I still see no "Analog Output" option in the list of devices, but while no device is selected in the list, I enjoy listening sound through speakers. If now I choose anything from the list, then I cannot "unselect" it and sound won't play again... so my question is still relevant.
