Some Update from dual boot laptop with Win10 and Gentoo, but I think it is relevant. Some of folks were referring to broken sound card, this happen to me as well. The card was not available on Linux neither on Win10. Even after disabling/re-enabling in bios didn't help. I started thinking it is really broken, but tried to flash the bios :-) and it got working again.

I have an external audio speaker connected to it. When I disconnect the speaker and reconnect it again it stops working. Even more, laptop audio stops working too. And after the reboot, I don't even see any of the audio devices. I've googled a lot and tried different fixes from forums with no luck. After a while, I've accidentally discovered that putting the laptop to the sleep mode and rebooting system after brings audio back to live. Even more, if speakers were attached during this sleep-reboot procedure, they are starting to work as well. However, after the next reboot speakers are not working again. And if I will plug them out and in - problem with completely missing audio returns. P.S. I'm using laptop-mode-tools package on my laptop. Recovery after hibernation made me believe that it's somehow related. But after uninstalling this package nothing really changed.
