the same issue was present in the installation my Ubuntu image that same image has sound working properly on another machine I have the issue is 100% not with the hardware because I have windows as dual boot on the same machine which has it working fine
here are images of my alsamixer state (which I attached to the post)
and a paste of output from pacmd list-cards and amixer
amixer: which I already tried to tinker with on the other installation attempt3 card(s) available.
