  I have had no sound since original (fairly recent) purchase. I
  purchased online from Dell.

  Sound preferences were originally showing in upper right hand corner
  of the screen, but the sliders for changing volume were grayed out,
  and choosing sound test had no audible or visual result.

  Now sound preferences are not showing in upper right corner at all,
  and system preferences --> sound no longer shows 'sound test' as an
  option.

  I tried to fix original problem myself by killing then re-starting pulseaudio
  No effect. Also I tried commands

  apt-get purge pulseaudio
  and then later
  apt-get install pulseaudio

  it seemed to be after that when the sound preferences stopped showing
  in upper right corner, but I also did a general ubuntu update at the
  same time (and there is still a restart required for update for
  'Latitude E5X60 System Update' 68614)
