I also went here and tried to re-install the latest drivers to no effect, I 
still have "Dummy Output"

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS


Perhaps since it cannot find a device it cannot load alsa or anything else 
related to sound?  Help.  I don't really know everything I am doing. Thanks so 
very much.
