Strange, my "alsa-base" already had a line in it, setting "options snd-
hda-intel model=ref" to some other value before I changed it. I think it
was "laptop", but I'm not 100%.
I suspect that I made a typo early on trying to fix this problem, dumped
a line in an empty file I created, and then forgot it was there to undo
it.
What's strange is that this early typo blocked my other attempts to fix
the problem. Might be that alsa defines some static variables for its
options, and gives priority to these files that probably shouldn't ever
exist.
So what about Liam's success? If his fix wasn't being blocked, why did
creating the file help? Well, it sounds like he created "alsabase" with
no hyphen. Maybe that's one step up in the priority, and by placing a
line there, it overrides that setting in either "alsa-base" or "alsa-
base.conf".
If I'm right, Liam will be able to check those three files ("alsabase",
"alsa-base" and "alsa-base.conf") for "options snd-hda-intel model=".
Harmonizing the ".conf" version to whatever file he just created and
then deleting the new "alsabase" file should leave him with working
sound if I'm right.
