Can't get Realtek ALC1150 to work on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

Something Something

I am using an ASUS All Series/X99-A, BIOS 4101 07/10/2019.

The soundcard in question is the Motherboard builtin.

This question seems at first like a repeat of this question for 16.04 but the accepted answer was that kernel 4.10 would fix the issue. However I'm at kernel 5.4.0 and the issue persists.

I have already installed+reinstalled pulseaudio and all the alsa config files. I have already followed many recipes and added all these options (once each) to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 bdl_pos_adj=0,-1
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=auto 
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=auto

in every possible combination. One combination (forgot which) actually worked for a couple of months but then it suddenly stopped working.

I can see the card in the alsa mixer

enter image description here

but it does not show up in pulseaudio volume control.

What am I doing wrong? What can I possibly try? Should I just take the L at this point?

Thank you!

For some reason alsa+pulseaudio only work after I reload alsa completely after boot.

$ sudo alsa force-reload
Terminating processes: 1368.

After that the built-in audio comes up in pavucontrol

However I have to do this every time the computer reloads.

Some other user online has suggested to remove timidity in case one reader wants to try but it did not work for me.

$ sudo apt purge timidity-daemon

It is amazing that this is 2023 and I still have to do this on a Linux desktop.

Try another distro (Manjaro) and check if works there. A Test with a live USB should verify if it's a Linux or a Distro problem

@kanehekili I have to use Ubuntu for professional reasons. Still, is there any reason why Ubuntu would be intrinsically inferior to Manjaro?

Not inferior, but different. Manjaro is based on Arch Linux, has different (newer)kernels and libraries. Consider it as "glance into future". Besides their pipewire integration is better than Ubutuntus. (pipewire is the successor of pulseaudio, which in fact you're using). So testing it could narrow down the problem. I do not want you to switch - just help to fix your problem on Ubuntu

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
