Please help me and give a shot to this post, I am running out of solutions.
I am beginner in Ubuntu/Linux and I installed Ubuntu for this reason: to learn it and to use it as my main OS and I don't want to give up and return to Windows.
But I have no sound, lost already 2 evenings and 2 OS reinstall without success. Tried every solution found on Google... and I finally got here, my last hope.
I have an Asus monitor PB287Q with audio speaker integrated connected through DisplayPort to a Sapphire Radeon R9 390 NITRO and motherboard Asus Z170.
Details: - no sound output on jack 3.5 (headset or separated cable for monitor) - added user to audio group - installed pavucontrol and alsamixer - edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (first try was to add "options snd-hda-intel index=-2" and to change existent row as "options snd-usb-audio index=0", but this setting generate no sound at all, not even on USB. Seems it works only with ""options snd-usb-audio index=-2" on the USB headset. At least added one more row "options snd-hda-intel model=generic". - tryed "sudo alsa force-reload" with no success also.
My sound settings with USB Headset connected
MY sound settings only with Monitor connected or jack 3.5 headset
