Public bug reported: I just upgraded a working system from an up-to-date 18.04.5 installation to 20.04.1 and lost sound in the process.
The upgrade itself was uneventful but now Pulseaudio lists the dreaded dummy output as the only available sound card. Alsa correctly sees the card as Card: HDA Intel PCH, Chip: VIA VT1708S in alsamixer for example.
