OK, let's try the quick fix. This is one single command. Copy all the text below and run it in the terminal:

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" | sudo tee - a etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null

Reboot to test

Thank you

This is what comes back on that command

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" | sudo tee - a etc/modprobe.d
tee: etc/modprobe.d: No such file or directory
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
mls@MLS:~$ /alsa-base.conf > /dev/null

I said it was one command! Why have you ran two commands? I made it quite clear and added this because I knew it could be confused as 2...... Did you read what I wrote?

Please be so kind as to repeat the TWO commands and I shall try them

Its not two commands, it's one.

Copied and pasted from above:

"OK, let's try the quick fix. This is one single command. Copy all the text below and run it in the terminal:"

This is the ONE command. Copy ALL of the text below and above the line stating to reboot, and run it in a terminal.

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" | sudo tee - a etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null

Reboot to test

Thank you

The result is as below:

~$ echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" | sudo tee - a etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null
tee: etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: No such file or directory

Sorry, I missed a leading slash.

That should add the line file.

Reboot to test

Thank you

The response is this:

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" | sudo tee - a /etc/modprobe.d
tee: /etc/modprobe.d: Is a directory

Again, it's one command. It's identical to the one you ran but I missed a leading slash....

I am very grateful to all who have contributed. Nothing appears to work to rectify the problem. I may well have to simply give up although I'd rather not

If you run:

cat -n /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

What is the output please?
