to clarify title: After about 14Feb19 : When boot, there is no sound: settings/sound does not show any soundcard.
If I then plug in a headphones to headphone jack, Immediately soundcard and sound are present. If I booted with the headphones already plugged in, I must unplug AND then replug the headphones to get immediately soundcard and sound are present. I saw a single pulseaudio update go in at or around 14Feb19. I can go back to 10Feb and redo updates, but I have also found that sometimes, even when I don't have something checked in update, it will update it anyway, so hard to get a system without that specific update while I am taking other updates. Yes that in itself is a bug but not for this bug. hardware: Sony Vaio computer speakers, or Razer headphones.
