Suddenly “No soundcards found”
After having worked properly for a month, my sound card went missing.
It was probably after I forced a restart (laptop frozen).
I am running Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS on a laptop with a pretty basic Sound Card Intel 2 Channel High Definition Audio.
aplay -l
gives
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
lsmod | grep snd
gives nothing.
I tried many solutions but none seems to work. Any ideas?

Does the card still work when you boot into another OS (live OS for example) ?

Try checking out Ubuntu's own sound card issues page, it has helped me a few times in the past and gives you simple instructions on testing and re-enabling sound cards: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

So it is a helpful checklist, I arrived until point 6 where lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" gives nothing In the bios I found no option to enable the sound card. Still don't know what to do

The issue was solved by forcing a restart after the computer had frozen. Still not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue or a combination of the two.
