Audio stopped working Ubuntu 19.04

Reinstall ALSA and PulseAudio

Try reinstalling ALSA and PulseAudio Manually that must be fix the problem for you.

Open your terminal, and enter the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base

sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio

sudo apt-get install alsa-base

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

sudo alsa force-reload

This problem has been going around a while. I have a ASUS UX433FN with a Realtek ALC294 chip. From other threads it sounds like this issue (for dual-boot PC's) seems to be a result of Windows 10's fast boot behavior. I've disabled this feature in Windows 10, doing a full shutdown, and this has seem to fix my problem. Not sure if it's a permanent fix however.
