Hi there hakon, I too have Realtek ALC3246 in my Dell XPS 13 9360
grep "Codec:" /proc/asound/card*/codec* /proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Realtek ALC3246 /proc/asound/card0/codec#2:Codec: Intel Kabylake HDMI I ran through all the commands you listed in comment #4, and I had the same output except: lspci -v | grep Audio 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 9d71 (rev 21) (prog-if 80) I have the extra "(prog-if 80)" I'm not dual booting. I've not experienced sound stop working, but I've also seldom used suspend. But when I have suspended, sound has always worked. I did not receive my system until Feb 2017. It is a different model, but we appear to share the same audio. What version of Pulseaudio and ALSA are you using? What version of Ubuntu do you have now? What kernel version are you running? Does your system have the latest BIOS? I've tried the latest 4.4, 4.8, and even 4.10 kernels under 16.04 LTS without issue, all using the latest LTS versions of Pulseaudio and ALSA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636905 Title: Sound card not recognized on Dell Vostro 5568 Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I just reinstalled a fresh Ubuntu 16.10 on my Dell Vostro 5568 laptop. The audio controller on the laptop is a Realtek ALC3246 with Waves MaxxAudio Pro. The external interface connector is a microphone in/stereo headphones/external speakers connector. When I select "System Settings->Sound" the output device in the dialog window shows as "Dummy Output" and when I press the "Test Sound" button no sound is heard from either front left or front right speaker ( I have ensured sound is not muted ). Note: Before reinstalling, I asked a question on askubuntu,com: http://askubuntu.com/q/841759/156688 So reinstallation of Ubuntu 16.10 did not help on my sound problem.
