It could be connection problem. There is extra module that attaches to motherboard. On that module is sound chip. Could be faulty connection, simple clean could fix it.

I had no sound problem, and cleaning fixed it.

It is the connection contacts of the disk board, it has to be replaced

Re: Asus X555 no sound

i cleaned contacts, reflowed the audio IC, replaced the audio IC .. and after that i replaced the entire sub-board , the audio is still missing... i think that can be something related to chipset/cpu (sometimes) because the 2 connectors are solid (i've also reworked all the connector pins on the mainboard side .. and looks good at the microscope..the other connector is a brand new.)
the strange thing is that there are no issues with SSD... CARD READERD... USB PORTS .. that are also placed after this sub-board.

and also on this youtube video they solved adding an USB audio card and an amplifier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joOtn6vKZkY
