Ubuntu – Ubuntu 18.04 No Sound Card detected

I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 and sound disappeared and showed the infamous "Dummy Output", I thought the problem was with alsa and pulseaudio so I removed them and reinstalled them but that did not fix it.
I tried the command aplay -l
The output was : aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found..

I tried lspci and the output was:

As you can see without Audio device.

I ran the alsa-info script https://gist.github.com/craftyjon/902247
and This was the output:

> !!ALSA/HDA dmesg
!!--------------

I have dealt with sounds problems many times before but at least each time the card was detected by lspci command I don't know if that is a hardware problem.

UPDATE:

I restored the default BIOS settings and the soundcard is visible now. The problem now is that in pavucontrol, the option "Analog Stereo Duplex" and "Analog stereo Input/Output" for that matter are missing. I reinstalled pulseaudio and alsa but it did not work.
