Bug Description

I recently upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04. The sound worked without problems before upgrade, but now I don'get any sound at all from the speakers or the headphone jack.

This seems similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1860697 (although that bug is reported as resolved). I tried adding model=generic dmic_detect=0 to my alsa-base.conf, as reported in that ticket, but it did not help.

I managed to get sound working by following the steps here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

More specifically, I ran this command:

    sudo apt --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2

After a restart, sound was available again.

It seems I may have spoken too soon. A couple of days following my previous message, I have no sound again.

I'll run apport-collect and update the bug as the bot requested.
