Public bug reported:

I am not getting any sound at all from my Dell Optiplex 7040 (running
Ubuntu 16.04).

The volume control icon is showing up next to the clock, and I am able
to change the volume levels: but this has no effect. There is absolutely
NO sound at all.

In Settings -> Output, no devices are listed. Strangely enough, aplay -l
results in:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3234 Analog [ALC3234 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

which indicates that the sound card is getting detected. I tried

sudo alsa force-reload

following which I rebooted. That doesn't fix the problem. I opened
alsamixer: it is detecting the sound card perfectly and nothing is
muted. Still, there is no audio. I then tried the following:

sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload

And still there is no audio. I'd be really grateful if you could look
into this. Thanks.
