Sound Card Issue

Asked by Chris Holmes on 2016-11-09

So, the OS is not recognizing the sound card at all. I think I need to install modules? I'm not sure. Any help is much appreciated.

Here is a link of alsa output

You have no ALSA driver version

!!ALSA Version

Driver version:
Library version: 1.1.0
Utilities version: 1.1.0

That's the issue.
