Hello and thank you for your help!
I tried this but it didn’t work.
I still have the same dmesg log and still have nothing showing up in the sound settings:
But it gave me some material to search for…
Indeed I found the following post: Linux for ROG Notebooks
So I also tried renaming the file with a different name like /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but I guess it doesn’t matter and that every .conf files are just “loaded”, right?
I also tried randomly different values (given as sample in that link) and I even tried the number with the I2C model even though I really think I have an SPI model (according to the dmesg log). Each time I rebooted the system of course and still getting same dmesg logs.
So I wanted to check if somehow this reference model I put in this file has been taken into account and that it was loaded, but I’m not sure how to do that…
In the meantime, I wanted to see if I can found any reference to the actual chipset I have in my computer.
I tried the following commands (found reading guides online) but without much relevance

Here the interesting part is that, it seems that indeed the actual model is 1043:1a8f (second line of first block) which is also present in the patch_realtek.c file from the official kernel 6.7 patch!
And I thought maybe it was not taken into account in the first place because maybe the patch issued in kernel 6.7 was matching against the model name or whatnot…
But then I go back to editing the modprobe .conf file putting:
options snd_hda_intel model=1043:1a8f
But still no luck.
I also found the following guide (sorry it’s in french and was not able to find en english equivalent) which show some variants of that same modprobe options (using instead brand name for example)
What else I can check?
I wonder if in my version this patch was actually merged or not?
Again, many thanks for your time…
EDIT: it seems that modinfo <some module name> can give information about a module that is loaded…
I guess that here it’s the name of the file, right?
modinfo alsa-base gives modinfo: ERROR: Module alsa-base not found.
Does it mean it’s not loaded?
EDIT2: whether it’s named snd.conf or not, the command modinfo snd gives me the following output… But I guess it’s not related to that edit, right?
