Sound not working in Mint 18.3
I recently installed Mint 18.3.
My sound has stopped working.
I have a Asus M5a97 R2.0 motherboard.
Is it possible to get some help on this, please?

Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
I am presently running my old Mint 17.3 system until I fix the sound problem on the 18.3 system. It too lacks sound.
Here is the output from your command on the 17.3 system:

Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
First of all, install the latest kernel of the 4.4 series. Should be a level 5 update. Then reboot and test again.

Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
Update it to the latest of its series, i.e. 4.4.0-116.
Then reboot and test the sound again.

Install alsamixergui. Open a terminal and run:

Somtimes force reloading alsa could help. To do that open a terminal and run:

Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
Sorry about that
Others will surely get it back on track.

Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
Everybody given up? Is my problem so unimportant or unsolvable?
Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
Don't be rude since nobody pay us and we do it from our free time and energy.
Try to rename the pulseaudio folder .config/pulse to pulse.back when you reboot will make a new one.
Home folder > View > Show Hidden Files > .config > pulse
Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
I am aware that you are not being paid. However, it is strange that suddenly nothing is being done to help me. I have researched this problem extensively but there appears to be no obvious answer. I apologise if I have offended you.
Done that, still no sound.

Re: Sound not working in Mint 18.3
Sorry to point out the quite obvious, it is sometimes easy to overlook. Have you checked in the Pulse Audio Volume Control that you have the proper settings?
