I am using a Baytrail intel z3735 tablet. I am trying to run ubuntu 14.04/15.04 with linux kernel version 3.16/4.2.0. When I play an audio file the audio data is dumping to the audio sink but there is no audio coming from the speaker. I am able get the sound card detected as below...

To test whether audio is coming to sink or not, I am using pulseaudio commands paplay and parecord from different terminals. Since source 0 is the source-monitor node for sink node 0, I captured audio from it.
sanj@sanj:~$ paplay Dhaakad.wav
sanj@sanj:~$ parecord -d 0 > test.wav
Then I tested the captured audio file test.wav with audacity on a PC and it was playing fine. I am not able to figure out why the audio not coming from speaker. I also tried to change the audio settings with alsamixer but nothing worked out.
