I have a Dell xps13 that previously had 14.04 and the sound worked fine. I recently installed 18.04 and now I have no sound through either my speakers or headphones. The sound settings look like this: 
(Note that there is no 'Test Sound' button. )
[Edit] I've already tried many of the fixes I've found on AskUbuntu, including:
pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload(nothing changes)- I've tried reinstalling
alsaandpulseaudio. [/Edit]
I'm now following the Ubuntu troubleshooting guide for sound.
At step 3, entering wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh yields the output: https://pastebin.com/raw/44UDnp63
Running the code in step 4 yields https://pastebin.com/raw/YinifjQC
I've checked with pavucontrol to make sure that nothing is muted. This is what the panel looks like:
(The lower bar indicates that sound is playing, but I don't hear anything out of the speakers/headphones.)

I'd like to know if the sound works via HDMI attached. If so, maybe there is one switch to activate/deactivate the internal speakers. Maybealsamixeron the console/terminal could help to try the possible switches.

Go to your home directory and then go to the hidden config directory. Rename the directory named pulse here:
mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse
Now reboot your system. The pulse directory should be created afresh and you should have sound.

Open the terminal and edit speech-dispatcher file by using the following command:
sudo gedit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher
In here, change RUN=yes to RUN=no
