Public bug reported:

Every time my system goes through a hard shutdown (power outage, forced
reboot), my audio stops working on reboot.  Usually I've been able to
resuscitate the audio by reinstalling all the audio drivers, as
suggested on the audio troubleshooting page for the Ubuntu community.
The last time, however, this did not work and I had to install the
latest ppa audio, after which audio came back.  Now, nothing seems to
work.  I know the sound card and audio systems are fine--the machine is
a dual boot and audio works without problems with Windows running.
Ubuntu 'sees' the sound card, at least according to sysinfo.  But, my
sound system settings shows "Dummy Output," no microphone, and no
hardware.  I'm guessing that something left over from the hard reboot is
blocking the system's access to my audio card, but can't seem to find
anything online with suggestions for a fix.  I'd say the problem is a
bug because I'd hope Ubuntu would be robust to an occasional hard
shutdown.
