No sound on Ubuntu/Windows dual-boot
TL;DR: Booting into Ubuntu after first booting into Windows disables sound on Ubuntu (dual-boot Ubuntu 16.04 LTS/Windows 10)
Recently I decided to try Linux, so I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as a dual-boot option to already installed Windows 10 on my laptop. But I found out no sound is coming out of my speakers when using Ubuntu (sound works fine on Windows).
So I've tried this guide, and found out step #1C helped (it installed some updates). I later restarted and switched to Windows. As I later switched back to Ubuntu, no sound was coming out of speakers again so I tried the same as before (step #1C), but now it didn't solve the problem (no updates were installed as the system was up to date).
I later tried modifying alsa-base.conf file as pointed out here, but it also didn't help.
Somewhere on the Internet I read that the issue could be caused by Windows Fast Boot. I tried to cold restart (holding power button for ~5 sec) laptop and log into Ubuntu first, and now the sound worked. So I switched to Windows and disabled Fast Boot in power options. Then I switched back to Ubuntu but the sound was not working again. I tried cold restarting again and switched between Ubuntu and Windows but the issue remains same. Booting into Ubuntu after first booting into Windows disables sound on Ubuntu.
NOTE: Pulseaudio shows speakers are not muted

This problem occurs after booting into a different OS than previously.
Just put the computer to sleep and wake it up, and the problem is solved, the sound comes back. Works both ways round for Windows and Ubuntu
However this problem seems to be fixed in the new ubuntu 18.04
Could you please explain what is the cause?

I am experiencing this in Ubuntu 18.04, and suspending fixed it. Hotkeys for sound do not work however, while hotkeys for screen brightness does. Details: I was listening to Foo Fighters.

I was in the same boat as you, I followed the instructions in this guide and it worked great. Specifically:
sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload
I've tried the same, but it didn't help. Only thing that solves the problem so far is putting the laptop to sleep, then waking it up.

Waking from sleep didn't resolve my issue. But this did:
Log into Windows
Go to Device Drivers
Find Intel Audio Driver
If it has a warning flag next to it, update driver.
Worked immediately after the update completed.
There are no warnings next to any driver on my laptop.

I had a similar problem when dual boot ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10 in ASUS UX433F. Then I updated the kernel version to 4.19.10. After that it started working!
$ sudo ukuu --install v4.19.10
If ukuu is not installed you can install by
$ sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ukuu
After installing ukuu open a new terminal install the new version of ubuntu kernel.

I had a similar problem when dual boot ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10 in ASUS UX433F. Then I updated the kernel version to 4.19.10. After that it started working!
$ sudo ukuu --install v4.19.10
If ukuu is not installed you can install by
$ sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ukuu
After installing ukuu open a new terminal install the new version of ubuntu kernel.

This is a work around, not a fix: Boot into Win10. At login window click restart and boot in to Linux Distro. Will have sound. Unfortunately, always do this for Linux sound.
Looks like Win10 does not release Conexant sound driver for direct boot to Linux.
There's easier workaround, just put laptop to sleep then wake it up and sound works again.
