Sound not working after update

Asked by Forrest Brandt

Hi All, after updating yesterday my sound seemed to crash.
in the terminal COMMAND: alsamixer gives me 'cannot open mixer: No such file or directory'

Here is my output from:
 wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
A per community troubleshooting prodeduce

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=32086432867e7d25093d6d31987ee5a09b01ff4a

As I can see an ALSA driver was not loaded
No soundcards detected by ALSA

How can i fix this. My sound was great up tunil the update

Try:

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

Reboot to test
