Since I updated Ubuntu from 16.x to 17.10 and then to 18.04 I don't have any sound. There is also a problem with videos in web browser (they look like a slideshow, still no sound) and Spotify, where it looks like music is loading but nothing happens.

Have you tried re-installing pulseaudio and alsa? If not, type these commands in order.
sudo apt update
sudo apt remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload
EDIT : For users with older versions of Ubuntu where apt is not there, use apt-get.
