hi
THis sounds like a pulse audio issue. Try writing the following to
/etc/pulse/default.pa. At the end of the file, add a new line and
write the following. load-module module-switch-
on-connect. Then kill and restart pulse audio, or restart your system.
This sounds like pulse audio isn't switching to a sound device if you
remove the device it was using, which it's supposed to do by default.
If it's happening with ubuntu utopic, try running an older version
such as the 14.04 lts to see if it's that version. If this doesn't
help, I'll try more troubleshooting steps later, I'ma bout to snooze.
THis should really work out of the box though.
THanks
