[SOLVED] Asus Z170-A no sound card detected

Hello, I am not able to get my sound card work with Asus Z170-A motherboard. I tried few live images of other distributions and the sound was working fine (Antergos was one of them and thats basically Archlinux). Any tips what should I try? Nothing from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture worked.

I have found few similar issues resolved by upgrading to alsa-daily via DKMS, but It seems a bit odd since other distributions (at least their live versions) does not have this sound issue at all.

Hi, if you turn on alsamixer control, can you choose another sound card pressing f6?

Oh, I forgot to add that alsamixer returns error message 'cannot open mixer: No such file or directory'.

snd_hda_intel          32768   0

the 0 there is weird, please post full dmesg .


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Hm, so it seems like it was all in the session managment. I moved from xinit to lightdm and it solved all my issues.
