Sound card is installed but it is not listed

  • 772

I've got an Ubuntu 16.04 installed and for the past few days. I was able to play sounds from my analog audio output (with my headphones connected to it).

I also have an HDMI connection and speakers on my monitor. Today I switched the audio output to HDMI, the moment I did this, I realized that my analog audio output is missing in the list but it was too late. Now I can not switch back to my analog anymore. Even though I know it is installed and working.

The funny thing is that when I turn on my computer, the welcome sound is still played from my headphones (the audio output that is missing).

I've read a couple of posts and questions, here and there, but they mostly assume that your sound card is not installed, while mine is.

Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

[UPDATE]

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)

Even though I'm not sure if it is relevant:

$ aplay -l

By the way, I forgot to mention. My microphone which belongs to the same analog audio device, works.
