    It is a good idea to put this on The Kubuntu website under the known problems, so people can avoid it.
    Added that on the release notes last night.

      Weird, I use a W520 and did not get audio problems (clean install, not an upgrade).

        Same problem, same symptoms; commenting the recommended lines did the trick. Thanks, guys!

            Ok I had the same problem: no audio after installing 17.10. Also, Windows complained when I booted in vbox - no driver or some such.

            Did some googling and reading and trouble shooting.

            Eliminated a h/w problem.

            So s/w.

            Finally I found that this is a known problem in Kubuntu 17.10. Turns out it's a configuration/timing problem and the sequence in which modules are loaded and a module is antiquated and some want to drop it, but others need it, etc, etc, etc. The developers were/are discussing who/what/when.

            One bright soul found a solution with the system as is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...o/+bug/1720519

            To quote him"

            I removed alsa and pulseaudio and reinstalled like this:

            sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio

            Now install again Alsa and Pulse Audio:

            sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio

            Then, reload Alsa:

            sudo alsa force-reload
            Tried it and it worked fine. He also had to remove discord for skype and gamers (not a concern for me) and then it worked over a reboot also.

            I haven't rebooted yet, if it persists maybe I'll write a script to do what he found and leave it at that and hope that the developers can agree on a solution by 18.04. They have a little over 3 months after all.

            Ok - next day and booted this morning and tested sound. Sound ok. So the posted solution persists through a reboot.
