I changed the alsa-base.conf to 3stack to use a USB speaker system (actually a Thompson/RCA lyra wireless transmitter), which worked fine.
Now I Moved the Lyra USB devise to an XP machine (long story, but to transmit audio and video of MLB TV to TVs around the house) and need to change back alsa-base.conf, I think, to get back to using the original, internal sound card.
@zareason:/etc/modprobe.d$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I did not backup als-base.conf or comment out the original line which now reads:
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=8 model=3stack
Anyone know what I should replace "3stack" with? I do not see my card in the database. Also, what are the steps once you;ve successfully edited alsa-base.conf to get sound?
Alsamixer just shows the card info and IEC958, the screen is blank where one might expect to see volume bars. More output from terminal:
