I've had some time to mess with this to see what's up with my on board audio.
I did an alsa-info while booted to the upgraded 19.04. Then downloaded and built a fresh live ubs 16.04. Then booted that and did an alsa-info. A diff of the resulting files show the live is running kernel: 5.0.0-13-lowlatency ALSA Driver version: k5.0.0-13-lowlatency And the onboard sound works. The upgraded version is running kernel: 5.0.0-16-lowlatency ALSA Driver version: k5.0.0-16-lowlatency And onboard sound does not work. Can't see any other obvious difference in the alsa-info output. Any thoughts on if this is the issue and if so, how I might fix it?
