I'm pretty new with Linux, so in order to try it I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows. After few months, the sound suddenly stopped working. In the sound settings, no output device was available except for "dummy output", so I'm assuming the system doesn't see my audio card or speakers. I tried to fix this issue by installing different distro (Linux Mint) in place of Ubuntu, but the problem still persists. The sound is working fine on Windows though. Any ideas how can I fix this?

I was understood problem and here i was given suggestion as per knowledge. First of all check Your sound card may not have been detected properly probably because the drivers for the card are not installed. You may need to install the drivers for the card manually. How you do this depends on the type of the card.
#Run the lspci command in the Terminal to find out what sound card you have:
1.Go to the Activities overview and open a Terminal.
2.Run lspci as superuser; either type sudo lspci and type your password, or type su, enter the root (administrative) password, then type lspci.
3.Check if an audio controller or audio device is listed: in such case you should see the make and model number of the sound card. Also, lspci -v shows a list with more detailed information.
