How to load "snd-hda-intel" at startup

Question

I always have to type in

 sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel 

in order to get my sound card to work I have already tried the solution to append snd-hda-intel to /etc/modules with

 sudo sh -c 'echo "snd-hda-intel" >> /etc/modules' 

The line is added accordingly into the file, anyways that does not seem to work. Please give advice.

edit: I did run

 dmesg | grep snd 

--> no result.

afterward i run

 sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel 

and then I did run

 dmesg | grep snd 

--> see output

output:

Answer 1

After attempting an "oss4" audio install, I lost audio, and reverting my mistake, did not recover the audio.

Needed to "manually": modprobe snd-hda-intel every boot....to get audio on Ubuntu

Until I found that the driver had been put in a blacklist.... on the oss4 attempt.

grep snd-hda-intel /etc/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/oss4-base_noALSA.conf:blacklist snd-hda-intel

moved the "oss4-base_noALSA.conf" away from the "/etc/modprobe.d"

sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/oss4-base_noALSA.conf /root

and now, do not need to manually "modprobe snd-hda-intel" after every boot....to get audio on Ubuntu

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

I had issues getting sound to work after upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04.

modprobe snd_hda_intel commands failed to load module:snd_hda_intel. 

The module was missing. I installed it via:

uname -r (note kernel version)
apt-get install linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-56-generic

This installed the missing module, after this, I could module:snd_hda_intel and everything worked!

Please turn off secure boot using mokutil. Mine had the same problem but got it working by disabling secure boot.
