Problem upgrading Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell computer

Last week I had an interesting problem with ubuntu 18.04. I updated the system using 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' and for my surprise when I restarted the computer I had no sound e no mic. The only output was Dummy Output. I tried everything tutorial.
So I decided to reinstall using USB boot. Ok... Everything was working fine until the update, AGAIN!
I reinstalled again!
This time, I decided to update using Software Update and it worked!! I don't know why but updating ubuntu 18.04.2 to 18.04.5 with sound and mic functioning properly, just using the Software Update. Is this problem only on Dell G3 3590 or is it a general problem?

(sorry my english, rs)

Try using linux mint. It's a good distro. We can work on it together via WhatsApp.

What happens under the hood when Node.js works on tasks such as database queries? We will explore it by following this piece of code step by step.
