Comment 9 for bug 1648183

This might be a kernel issue and not just a problem with Ubuntu since I've had this exact same issue on an HP Envy 13 i5 Kaby Lake running ALC295 on pretty much every distro. Back when I'd dual boot, I used to boot into Windows before booting back into Linux to fix this problem and it worked on every distro. Now I have a machine with only Linux on it can't seem to make this issue go away. Here's a list of the audio devices used.
