Thank you already!

I had a similar issue happen where suddenly (I have no idea what I updated, or what changed in the system) I could not get sound.
I did the whole
pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reloadthing. I didn't have any cards listed frompacmd list-cardsbut I could see the device with commands like:lspci -nnk | grep -A2 AudioI even installed a newer kernel (4.8+ since it apparently has good support for my particular machine).
In the end, I rebooted into the bios and disabled the built-in audio, applied those changes, rebooted to Ubuntu, then rebooted again into the bios to re-enable the audio. Once back into Ubuntu after that, everything seemed to work great!
Don't know if this will help with other people looking for solutions to their problems. I was using a Dell XPS 13 (9350), but might be something for others to at least try.
