Public bug reported:
I upgraded from 16.10 to 17.04 using Software Updater on 2017-07-22. The
upgrade is working well except for almost complete lack of sound; the
only time I've heard sound is with the 1st set (but not 2nd set) of test
tones during the ubuntu-bug submission process for this bug. It is not a
hardware issue since my machine is a dual boot with Windows 10 and sound
works on Windows. pavucontrol says I have "Built-in Audio Digital Stereo
(IEC958)" and indicates the system is not muted and shows a visual
indicator of sound being played when I play a test sound. aplay -l gives
the following:

Thank you for your help, and I'll be happy to provide further info as
needed.
