No sound device found after kernel update

You could try booting Lite from the previous working kernel to confirm the earlier kernel recognizes the sound hardware correctly.  Using the grub menu to select a specific kernel via the advanced options should work.  I guess you are familiar with this as you have a multi-boot system.

An alternative method could be reverting to a System Restore (aka Timeshift) snapshot taken before the kernel update.
Do you have a recent snapshot taken before the kernel update ?
