It did in my case.

When the original MB on this box died about 3 years ago, and I replaced
it with a newer, but equivalent one that was compatible with my old
CPU, RAM, etc., the sound barely worked -- LOW Volume.  After tinkering
with it for sometime, I just totally uninstalled/purged the sound (ALSA,
Pulseaudio and Pulseaduio-equalizer), reinstalled, configured the
drivers, settings, etc., and it worked!

In any case, it won't hurt to try.
