My built-in soundcard is playing games with me ever since I've had it. It's like the 10th time it just decides not to output sound.
To begin with, proving that it's not a hardware issue, I plugged in a 16.04 32bit UbuntuMATE & the card's working fine. I was about to install a windows just to get proof! Headaches!!
Please tell me how to debug this. I just want to forget that card. Just make it work! I can't really lay my hands on the problem this time. I could do a back-flip if you want.
Below is some information about the system
from aplay -l:

Edit: The issue seems to be related to a bios parameter. The results so far are inconsistent. I just try setting the parameter to "auto" or "enabled" and it eventually works. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1658528
