Ubuntu – No sound (dumthe output) Ubuntu 19.10

I just installed Ubuntu 19.10 and I have no sound at all. I know my hardware is working because I heard system sounds when I was booting from a USB to install Ubuntu. When I go to system sound settings all I can see is a dummy output, with no option to change it.

Some other relevant information:

• I cannot open alsamixer, even with sudo, it returns

"cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"

• Here is the output from 'sudo lspci -vv | grep -i audio'

"""00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 11)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Cannon Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller"""

• Here is the output from "sudo dmesg | grep -i audio"

"[ 0.416732] ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux-Lenovo-NV-HDMI-Audio)

• Only dummy output shows up in pavucontrol

• "cat /proc/asound/cards" produces

"— no soundcards —"

Outputs of uname -a, lspci and inxi are pasted below. If anyone would be able to me a hand with this that would be amazing. Apologies for any mistakes I am a linux newbie, just started using it for bioinformatics. If you need any other information that might help just give me a shout!
