Do you even see anything with lspci or lsusb of your soundcard?  What kind of sound is it?

Updating kernel breaks things I've found (newish intel z99 mobo did in earlier kernels), but unless hardware changed, shouldn't unless something just fried or you broke it to udev.

Look at your dmesg on boot, and run "alsamixer", if neither see your sound, it fried, isn't getting probed by udev, or some odd combination of that and bug.  If also sees it, pulseaudio should too.  Everything (apps) talks to pulse now as a default sink to userland, under it is alsa, then your sound.

If alsa sees your sound, check pulseaudo.  Install pavucontrol and examine your devices as looking as they should.  Make sure your application in there is steering to the right output sink.

It's like hooking up a stereo receiver or anything else, output to input, output to input...
