I run Linux Mint on my personal computer.
There are two bootable partitions on the hard disk.
SDA2 boots Sylvia, the current version. NO SOUND HERE.
SDA4 boots Serena, an older version. Sound works fine here.
Looking for differences between the two systems I found this (differences are in BOLD):

lshw on (SDA2 Sylvia - no sound) has this to say about sound:

You are using the Linux 4.4 LTS series. Probably your problem is fixed in the current Linux kernel 4.16.1, and the fix wasn’t backported yet.
I do not know, if there are such packages for Linux Mint. Maybe something similar to [1] can be done for Linux 4.16.
The other two options are to build the Linux kernel yourself – `make bindeb-pkg` in Linux’ source directory – (only doing this for ALSA is possible too, but more involved), or to try some live system with a current Linux kernel.
Kind regards,
Paul
