I tried to play sound today, and no sound.

Similar questions and my failed attempts:

  1. No Sound (Dummy Output) error Ubuntu 19.10 but no solution here

  2. pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload changed nothing pacmd list-cards lists 0 cards.

also, typing pacmd set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo gives No card found by this name or index.

source: "Dummy Output" No sound in Ubuntu 16.04

  1. Trying sudo alsactl init 0

gives alsactl: init:1778: Cannot find soundcard '0'...

    The solution https://askubuntu.com/questions/1218041/ubuntu-18-04-audio-disappeared-after-update/1218063#1218063 – nano Mar 19 '20 at 20:15
  • FYI: I realize you're on 18.04, but 18.04 with HWE enabled shares the same kernel (thus same issue). My link is identical to @nano's, but I got link from IRC discussion – guiverc Mar 20 '20 at 02:37
