No sound after reinstall ALSA

Asked by EsixX

So, I've been with this problem for a week now, and I can't solve it. So I ask politely for your help.

So two weeks ago I wanted to use my headphones to listen to some music. I plugged it in and there was no sound from the headphones, only from the main speakers. I couldn't solve this with the controls so I googled and the best possible solution was to reinstall ALSA.

After I did this I only got two controls left:

Now I only can check for the masters of capture and playback, the other two are GONE.

So I searched something about getting my sound back.
aplay -l gets me: [code]aplay: device_list:240: no soundcards found...[/code]So what did I do:
Reinstalling ALSA again (and again) --> nothing
Installing linux soundcard driver from Lenovo --> nothing
Reinstalling ALSA/sound packages by synaptic package manager --> nothing
Installing extra ALSA software --> nothing
The sticky of Sound troublshooting (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure) --> nothing

Has anyone some other proposes what I should do, because I'm getting annoyed by this.

my soundcard is:
[code] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05) [/code]alsa info about my laptop:

Thanks in advance,

You have no driver version, not good. This may help:

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils libasound2; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*

Can you help with this problem?
