Dell Precision M3800 - Default Sound Card Issues

Hey guys,

My original Intention was to change the default sound card on my Dell Precision M3800 so that sound would work, but i wound up doing just that. Unfortunately i also disabled the HDMI sound output.

The HDMI Sound output was default, and even when i switched it to the Realtek card in ALSAMIXER, i never heard sound.

This is what i did that brought me to where i am now - created in alsa-base.conf

options snd_hda_intel enable=0,1
options snd slots=snd_hda_intel
options snd_hda_intel index=1

Anyway i can get the other one back, just in case i ever need to use it, while keeping my now working sound card as default?

Thanks

Re: Dell Precision M3800 - Default Sound Card Issues

Go through the procedure described on the alsa wiki, read the whole chapter. You need to use vid and pid for this. Also do not use both methods to reorder sound cards [modules]. Either use slots or index, in your case stick with index.

Edit: You could just drop the enable line, but should the order change during boot for whatever reason you will be at square one, so using vid and pid is the best approach here. Even more so since both cards use the same module, I assume.
