Bug Description
I upgraded from Kubuntu 18.04 to 18.10 beta today, and I noticed I don't have sounds. The UI only shows a 'Dummy Device'. After doing a 'sudo alsa force-reload', KDE shows the audio device.
When I execute alsamixer in a shell before executing the force-reload, the audio card is shown.

I just 'resolved' that issue myself by removing the package timidity - it seems this program exclusively used the audio hardware. If there is a issue, it is with this package.
