Summary
=======
Internal speakers work as expected, but when plugging headphones through the 3.5mm jack, the "Select Audio Device" panel doesn't show up (it normally shows up to allow user to select what kind of device has been plugged in, be it headphones, microphone or headset). In the Sound Settings, the Output Device automatically switches to "Headphones - sof-hda-dsp", but no sound can be heard even though the vumeter in the Sound Settings moves!
Steps to reproduce
==================
1. Install focal beta
2. Make sure the sound works as expected using the internal speakers and an audio file or Youtube
3. Plug headphones in jack 3.5mm interface
Expected Results
================
- In Sound Settings, the headphones are automatically selected as output device
- In Sound Settings, the vumeter under the Output Device moves according to the sound
- Sound can be heard through the headphones
Actual results
==============
- In Sound Settings, the headphones are automatically selected as output device (OK)
- In Sound Settings, the vumeter under the Output Device moves according to the sound (OK)
- No sound can be heard (Not OK)
Attached are output of `pactl info` and `pactl list` before and after plugging headphones, while playing a tune on Bandcamp in Firefox.

This bug should probably just be about the missing dialog.
The second part:
> In the Sound Settings, the Output Device automatically switches to "Headphones - sof-hda-dsp", but no sound can be heard even though the vumeter in the Sound Settings moves!
is probably better handled as bug 1866194 (which also needs answering please pieq).
