I'm pretty sure it's hardware recognition. My card in debian testing with the latest RC5 kernel is: chris@inspiron:~$ inxi -A Audio: Card-1: Intel Lynx Point-LP HD Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel Sound: ALSA ver: k3.14.0-rc3 Card-2: Intel Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel If I boot up in Xubuntu, the codec is "wrong", but the listed hardware makes more sense given that Dell's Inspiron 7000 audio driver is a realtek driver. alsamixer shows: HDA Intel MID Intel Haswell HDMA HDA Intel PHC Realtek ALC283 Can this be solely addressed in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file? The addition of "option snd-hda-intel model=*something*" is the focus right now.
