Sound Knocked Out

Asked by RussHog

I have been enjoying Fiesty Fawn for a few months but now a recent update has left me with no sound even
at boot-up. I have no idea how to get it back on since I am a Linux novice.

I tried the sudo modprobe snd-ens1371 and nothing seemed to have happened.
I loaded the snd-ens1371 into the /etc/modules files and rebooted and still no
sound. I don't know what's going on but I really don't want to go back to Windows just because an upgrade knocked the soundcard out, if you know what I mean.

Praise be to God! I have sound again. It wasn't a driver problem after all I just had to open Alsamixer and unmute the sound. I'm so glad to be able to hear sound on the computer again. Thanks for the help guys.
