Public bug reported:

When I start my computer (running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS), there is no sound
from the speakers plugged into the line-out jack.

In order to get sound, I need to run the following sequence of commands:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio pavucontrol
sudo alsa force-reload
reboot
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
pulseaudio --start

My system is dual-boot with Windows 10, but it doesn't seem to need me
to boot Windows 10 in order to lose the settings in Ubuntu.

This problem started on 19 March 2019 when I was trying to record some
audio with audacity and I've just found the above fix to get things
running, but sadly the problem reverts when I shutdown.
