Headphones not working in 16.04 after upgrade from 14.04

Question

My Bluetooth speakers and laptop speakers work fine, but the headphone are not. When plugged in, the sounds comes from the laptop speakers. The headphones are fine and they work with other devices. I didn't have this problem with 14.04; I'd updated only three days ago.

Thanks.

Before trying the above link, wich might not be needed, check the following: Install PulseAudio running sudo apt install pavucontrol and select your headphones on the Output Devices section. — M. Becerra, Dec 18 '16 at 17:48
