I am seeing the same error - my sound is dead with the latest updates, although it used to work perfectly in Alpha 5 :( when I first installed

The volume control has a red line through it, and if I try to select it a dialog appears with the following message:
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you do not have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you do not have a sound card configured.

You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.

lspci -vv yields:

So the device is obviously there. I also can't find any sign of error or any reference to the device in the bootup messages. (See attached) I am not sure if this is the same bug, since my audio broke at some point after alpha 5, and probably after alpha 6. I can run some other tests if they could help diagnose the problem:
