Some additional background information. 1) I have installed regolith side-by-side following these instructions: https://regolith-linux.org/download/
The sound problem also happens in Regolith. 2) I have also had a few occasions where alsa force-reload doesn't appear to help and a reboot is needed followed by alsa force-reload. 3) For some applications it's necessary to do "start-pulseaudio-x11" after the alsa force-reload. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874689 Title: alsa force-reload needed to fix my sound after upgrade to 20.04 Status in Ubuntu MATE: New Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading from Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu Mate 20.04 LTS "sudo alsa force-reload" is needed to fix my sound. I upgraded yesterday (23rd) before the official announcements of 20.04 LTS. Using "do-release-upgrade -d". I'm not sure yet how often I have to run "sudo alsa force-reload". When I have no sound a reboot is not a guranteed fix although it worked once. Booting into a Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 LTS gets working sounds each time I tried.
