Brilliant you still pursue this after all this time. My laptop sadly died just last week, but at 14 years of age and a life that included 2-3 years rough gaming by an enthusiastic teenager I reckon that's not bad. For a long time I used a workaround by buying a USB sound card which worked perfectly but it did have 18.04 installed on it and that didn't work either, though it had progressed by identifying the onboard sound card correctly without any fiddling with user configuration files, so that was progress of a sort. But despite knowing what was there it still seemed unable to identify it as a source in use. It was all a bit weird as in every other way the laptop flourished with my move to Linux and became a goto device for testing out any other problems I came across. Whether it's worth still pursuing is debateable. The laptop models are all pretty elderly and the workaround is straightforward at a pretty small expense. I certainly wouldn't feel let down if you abandoned the search at this point and appreciate you sticking with it for so long.
