I have installed linux mint 18.3 on a Asus All-in-one 27" and I have no sound out the speakers or out the headphones.
I have installed kernels 4.4 (standard), and then 4.10 and now 4.13. No change
But an another thing is weird, there is two graphic cards (in a all-in-one ??), I have installed the nvidia drivers (with the graphical interface for drivers) but the intel card stay activated (Intel Corporation Device 5912 in System Information) , nouveau failed and nvidia is not loaded (but nvidia-384 is present). I have installed nvidia driver, then supressed and reinstalled.
Are the two things tied ?
Actually, the status, no sound, and an intel driver:

Re: Sound issue in Linux Mint 18.3
Hello pgoval,
I think I may have experienced something very similar to what you describe - and in my experiences this can impact both Windows 10 and Mint 17.x-18.x equally.
I am writing this post on a machine based around an Asus H170i motherboard, which has 1 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x DVI-D and 1 x S/PDIF Toslink Optical Audio. I want to use the S/PDIF interface, because none of the 3 monitors I have [all are Dell U2415s] have speakers, but my Logitech 5.1 system has dual optical inputs, which is what I need...
The problem I experience is that periodically, with no input from me, my audio under Mint 18.3/64 will unilaterally change itself to direct all output to the HDMI-connected monitor, with zero input from me. This makes me really annoyed, because audio output is a *user-defined* setting, so I object very strongly when my computer elects to over-rule my explicit settings without even asking me.
From the research I've done, the reason for this is because the audio fidelity that can be achieved by HDMI is the best currently available - although both S/PDIF and HDMI are digital, the S/PDIF is a much older standard which had to apply a small amount of digital compression to the signal, thus losing some sound quality. I think that this is the reason that I'm seeing both my Mint and Windows build occasionally switch to HDMI.
In your post you mention that you have graphics cards, including an nVidia graphics card and copies of the nVidia driver software. I think this might be related to your problem, but would have to report that, sadly, if you are using Intel graphics then this might also contribute. The system I am using to write this has no nVidia hardware, but it does have an Intel Kaby Lake processor (a 7700T) with built-in HD 630 Graphics...
When I select Preferences -> Sound from the Mint menu and check the "Output" tab, I see two devices - "HDMI / Displayport Built-in Audio" and "Digital Output(S/PDIF) Built-in Audio" - and from time to time my Sound will unilaterally swap from S/PDIF to HDMI. So far I have found no way of "locking" the audio configuration in the state I want it to remain.
I'm not sure if any of this relates to your personal experience with your system, but if you are able to do so, I would suggest that a good place to start might be to remove any non-essential drivers from your system completely. It is not *completely* weird to have two graphics cards in your all-in-one. What you will most likely find is that the Intel card is "on-board", i.e. it is an integral part of your motherboard's chipset. Most likely Asus added the nVidia card to give you better graphics performance. If this is the case, *IF* this is the case, then I would suggest that you also need to look at your motherboard BIOS settings, to see if you can disable the Intel graphics output via a BIOS setting. Sometimes this is possible.
For what it's worth, I have the same CPU that you do, and my inxi output looks like this:-

At first glance, the graphics setup in your inxi output looks a little odd [I am *NOT* familiar with this] because it looks as though you have an *Intel* driver configured to your *nVidia* graphics card... Odd...
Sorry that this is unlikely to help you close out your issue, but hopefully some of this might help you to eliminate a few dead ends.

Re: Sound issue in Linux Mint 18.3
Same issue here too.
My sound card shows up in inxi, but I get nothing in 'settings->sound'.
If I plug external speakers in the jack, I do hear some faint output whenever I play something e.g. spotify. So it's not end of the world yet.

Re: Sound issue in Linux Mint 18.3
Think you for these responses.
I realize with your inxi reports that my ASUS is stuck at LM 18, so first I upgrade to LM 18.3.

After upgrade to LM 18.3 no change for the sound.
I found no option in the BIOS to desactivate the IGD Intel.

Your card is supported by the default drivers.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-driver
package.

This ASUS has two graphical cards (motherboard + Nvidia) , and two sound cards (motherboard + Nvidia). Nvidia optimus.
Only the nvidia sound card is connected.
It seems that nouveau is not correctly loaded, so the tools to switch does nothing :
echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch.
I'm going to get usb speakers.
I found no option in the BIOS to desactivate the IGD Intel.
I test the nvidia driver from nvidia web site. At reboot the video is so ugly that I uninstall it immediatly...
