Bug Description

The problem: after recent upgrade of the kernel to version 5.3-26 there is no sound.
All recent updates are installed.
I use KDE. And KDE system settings show only one output device "Dummy output"

Output of the command `lsmod | grep snd` is empty.

Here is the output of the `lspci -nnk`:

00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller [8086:a170] (rev 31)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Sunrise Point-H HD Audio [1043:86c7]
01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 HDMI Audio Controller [10de:10ef] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GP102 HDMI Audio Controller [1458:374c]

Here is the output of `uname -a`:

    Linux ubx64 5.3.0-26-generic #28~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 18 16:40:14 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If I load previous version of the kernel, 4-15, the sound appears.

After some investigation I've found that the sound on my PC is handled by the snd_hda_intel kernel module.
For the kernel version 4.15 this module is contained in the package "linux-modules-extra-4.15".

Similar package for the 5.3 kernel, "linux-modules-extra-5.3", is absent in the repositories.

Maybe you will need to run "apt update" to update your package list.

I have tried

    sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)

and it worked.
Now I have sound.
Strange that this package was not installed automatically on upgrade
