Hey all,

The last few weeks I've been plagued by inconsistent audio on my PopOS 20.10 desktop. Sometimes on boot everything would be fine, but other times I would have no working audio and only dummy devices in the audio menus. I eventually found that if I specify the modprobe order so that the USB driver (eg. for my webcam) loads after the onboard motherboard driver, that audio will work consistently.

Here are the related links: - Reddit thread where I posted the original problem and the solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/lmvbj3/audio_not_working_after_upgr... - A related thread where it sounds like an arch user has the same problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=260373 - The alsa info I uploaded while under the effects of the problem: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=a23ccbb818fec6eaf08b032504eac5d5d8a30589

I'm not really sure where this problem originated but I figured you guys might be able to point me in the right direction if it is not an alsa problem.

I don't think I messed with the original alsa-base.conf but I suppose my memory could be failing me here. I'm not sure where this file comes from but I'm guessing it could be either a pop os, ubuntu, or alsa default configuration?

Thanks, Steven Skeard
