I tried to play sound today, and no sound.

Similar questions and my failed attempts:

  1. No Sound (Dummy Output) error Ubuntu 19.10 but no solution here

  2. pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload changed nothing pacmd list-cards lists 0 cards.

also, typing pacmd set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo gives No card found by this name or index.

source: "Dummy Output" No sound in Ubuntu 16.04

  1. Trying sudo alsactl init 0

gives alsactl: init:1778: Cannot find soundcard '0'...

  1. mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse and then rebooting also fails source: https://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/

  1. sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils

  • FYI: I know you're on 19.10, but it's impacting HWE kernel which is shared with 19.10 – guiverc Mar 20 '20 at 02:33
