I installed Solus on my PC and love it. I just noticed that I'm not getting any sounds? When I boot from the live CD I can hear the welcome sound, but when I start my installed Solus there is no sound.
Here's a snap of my system specs.
Investigation of the sound properties in the control panel show a new device call Dummy Output.
Screenshots include the alsamixer results.
Bluetooth audio works like a champ.
Thank in advance for your help.
I've got the very same issue on my Panasonic CF-19. I'd be grateful for some advice 
I install the Pulseaudion Volume Control and took some screenshots. the settings don't make sense.
All of the profile options in the Configuration tab indicate Unplugged/Unavailable.
When I added a Bluetooth audio device to my configuration, it works like a champ.
The investigation continues.
In the Solus settings does 'test' work?
What's the volume look like in Raven?
Wiggle jack cord? Try an audio port from the back, or is there only one?
Hardware....?
brent Thanks, the audio is a pass-through over Display Port. It works in the live CD and Redhat/Debian distribs. There is no volume control in raven unless I connect my bluetooth headphones. There is no analog cable to waggle as this is a display port connect that also connects my monitor to the computer.
Does that make sense?
Spicegirl1992 Out of ideas BUT I typed "sound volume pulseaudio" into the search function above.
A lot of 'solved' threads regarding this problem, but this seemed closest to yours as far as re-configuring:

brent I like your thinking, but I am using a digital audio connection. The audio still works fine if I boot into a live CD. I think there is something borked with the ALSA subsystem. I don't knew enough to fix it, but I am tinkering with testing scenarios to reduce the solution possibilities.
Ran PACMD and found a BUNCH of information.
I rebooted my machine using the live usb and sound started working again. I dumped the PACMD here https://hastebin.com/rofuzuyuza.coffeescript
ceratit Does your sounds work when you boot from the LiveDisk?
I tried copying the /.config/pulse files from the live CD to my Boot drive. Didn't work.
Have you tried this?: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193747
Deleted the directory ~/.config/pulse, then reboot. Maybe backup the old folder first with mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse
Or maybe look here (Fixing dummy output in sound settings): https://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/
Someone fixed "No Sound, Dummy Output" here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/no-sound-dummy-output/114640/32
"I replaced my ~/.config/pulse folder with the one from the new account and now sound works perfectly."
1: Thanks, tried that and replaced the existing /pulse/ files with the known good one that works on the Solus Live Disk.
2: These instructions are for Debian/Ubuntu based systems. I was able to remove/add pulseaudio but there is not alsa-base and no alsa commands.
3: This was pretty much the same as 1, but I did it anyway.
Now my sound settings won't open anymore 
Spicegirl1992 You are right about the second link, now that i read it more closely, i see that you need different commands, when removing and reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio in Solus Budgie:
Remove alsa & pulseaudio from terminal: sudo eopkg rm alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-lib-32bit alsa-plugins alsa-plugins-32bit alsa-utils pulseaudio pulseaudio-32bit
Install alsa & pulseaudio again: sudo eopkg it alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-lib-32bit alsa-plugins alsa-plugins-32bit alsa-utils pulseaudio pulseaudio-32bit
I would reboot after trying this, and if it is pavucontrol that you cant open, i would try to reinstall that after the reboot: sudo eopkg it --reinstall pavucontrol
Have you checked that the loaded modules for your hardware on the installed system are the same compared to the ones on the live cd?
Spicegirl1992 "Now my sound settings won't open anymore"
Which one pavucontrol, alsamixer or is it in "System Tools" > "Settings" > "Sound"?
