Audio Drivers Installion

Repairing (installation) Audio Drivers of Debian PC

To support my freshly built PC, 4.11 kernel version for Realtek-ALC1220 was needed to support its audio. So, if you too are building your own new PC like me then this might help you as a temporary fix. Uninstall your alsa-base and reinstall latest version it should work fine.

sudo apt-get remove alsa-base

Now go to http://www.stchman.com/tools/alsa/alsa_setup.sh and download the script and then do

sudo ./alsa_setup.sh

This will reinstall the lastest driver in your system and reboots it.

Precaution: If you are having a Hybrid Graphics (Intel + Nvidia) then it is suggested to modify alsa-base when you are on Intel HD Graphics. Because this driver supports primarily Intel HDA versions. If you try to install while you are on NVIDIA graphics it might cause many failures.
