The pulseaudio installed on my Ubuntu 20.04.1 systems is the following: pulseaudio - 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.5 deleting ~/.config/pulse and reboot fixed the problem of sound being directed to builtin speakers instead of the headphones although headphones were selected as the output device. Verified this on a Dell XPS labtop and an AMD desktop. Until 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu6 is released, I recommend deleting the config file and rebooting.
