Public bug reported: Internal speakers were working fine until I upgraded the system from 19.10 LTS to 20.04 LTS on April 23, 2020.
Uninstalled and reinstalled alsamixer and pavucontrol, but of no use. Killed pavucontrol and reloaded alsamixer numerous times, but of no use. (`pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload`) Waited for two kernel updates, but of no use. Presently on 5.4.0-29. Tried upgrading the kernel even up to 5.6, but of no use. The Intel sound card is not getting detected. Tried every trick like adding "options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0" in the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, but of no use. Out of the two external audio output sockets for headphone, one is working. So I can either connect a headphone or an external speaker to this jack to tide over the crisis for the time being.
