I have a problem with my sound card. I don't have volume up or down option anywhere. In the setting -> Sound I don't have any card detected. But when I run the command sudo aplay -l, I get the following output

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

And the command lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" outputs

So, I assume that the drivers are properly installed but still I don't get any option in the settings or volume control. The same card used to work well back in 2010 versions(04 and 10)

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
