Upgrade to 3.15.1-1 kernel broke sound [SOLVED]

Seems a lot of things are being broken with this latest kernel upgrade.

Sound broke for me. 

It turns out my system now thinks I have a USB sound card which it doesn't.  Nonetheless, it did and it made the USB sound card the default instead of my Intel sound card.

This was determined with:

 
  cat /proc/asound/modules

Which returned:

 0 snd_usb_audio
 1 snd_hda_intel

The fix was create "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" with the following:

options snd slots=snd_hda_intel
options snd_hda_intel index=0

And a reboot

Hope this helps.

Are you sure the first line in your .conf is required?
