Problem:
My audio is not working. I'm getting that "Dummy Output" in the sound settings. I've been scouring the web, but nothing I try is working. I've tried



sudo alsa force-reload



sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-utils



sudo apt-get install alsa-utils



I've tried about every single little thing, and it's driving me crazy.

(wasn't quite sure how much you guys needed)
For some reason, I don't have a .asoundrc file or /etc/asoundrc.conf file. I can't get into alsamixer either. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, and reinstalled alsa-base, alsa-utils, pulseaudio, and even Wine.

I don't know what else to do at this point. Can you guys help me?



EDIT:
sudo alsa force-reload returns 

 Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded).

Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload).

Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu?

After searching, I have found a simple answer. Just execute 



killall pulseaudio


Your speakers should work fine now. To ensure this, test the sound stack in System Settings > Sound > Test Sound (Speaker test, Not Digital Output (S/PDIF) test)



The only problem with your issue is there is no driver found for your audio for that then Try to reinstall pulse audio and Alsa, open terminal and enter the following commands-



sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio

sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio

sudo alsa force-reload


even Upgrading your sound drivers may fix the nosound issue , for that use the following commands -



 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev

 sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


the final try from me is to make some changes in speech-dispather by-



sudo gedit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher


and change 



RUN=yes


to 



RUN=no


hope these workarounds will solve your issue, before testing make sure to restart once after doing any of the method.
