You wil NOT have "options sna-hda-intel model=" in your alsa-base.conf file when starting off because ubuntu thinks that its already configured your system.. So what you need to do now is.. add that line into your alsa base.conf..

Here are some other models of msi..
You can do: options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig
options snd-hda-intel model=targa.8ch-dig
options snd-hda-intel model=targa.2ch-dig

Im running the MSI GT660 what worked for me was the Targa.2ch.dig, Then i downloaded HDA Analyzer,

Open Terminal Once again.. Type the Follwing:
wget -O run.py http://www.alsa-project.org/hda-analyzer.py
python run.py
Ok now another window should pop up.. that is HDA Analyzer... Now

Im not sure if its different on other systems you go to Node [0x0c] AUD_MIX
Should be Options Val[0] and [1] Now if u mute those u will here the Bass as it should be working.. if u unmute those 2 u will hear your Main Speakers.. Now if u want to turn up the bass Go to Nod[0x16] PIN If they are muted.. Un mute them and turn the Val[0] and [1] Up all the way.

Not sure if i left out anything but if u need help with anything just PM me or Reply Thank u
