I'm on this for more than two hours. Everything I try just fails, and every search I attempt results into outdated or non-working tips. I was able to get sound by adding myself to the audio group; now speaker-test -D sysdefault:CARD=PCH works, but PulseAudio stubbornly does not detect my device. Tried to delete ~/.config/pulse, tried to restart PulseAudio, attempted to get verbose logging, no useful information. pactl list and pavucontrol only show a NVIDIA HDMI audio, and a USB webcam, no onboard HDA Intel. Do I really need to get an external USB sound card for Ubuntu 18.10? This is a real deal breaker. We need a downgrade path if upgrade fails the system that hard, but there is no such thing, besides formatting and loosing all my settings.
