Turns out alsamixer keeps muting the master track. I haven't see that before. Nothing in journalctl. 
I figured  it was a firmware issue. I didn't check the lspci devices. Sorry.

Do you know what audio chip the laptop has?

Greetings,
I recently installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 on a Dell Optiplex 7020 Desktop.

The sound just isn't' working at all. I need sound for:
- playing a video in a browser
- playing a video e.g. mp4 from the computer
- using Audacity
- using Flowblade
- using a MIDI keyboard (Akai MPK Mini) -
- using MuseScore

I originally had Ubuntu 18.04 and was trying to get the sound to work with all these and couldn't get it all to work. It was a nightmare. All in the list above worked individually but fixing one to work would cause another not to work. Then I saw Ubuntu Studio and thought that would be better. So far, it is not.

At this point, I'd be willing to remotely hire a Linux desktop consultant to configure the sound.
Is it possible to hire someone remotely to do this?

Thanks!
