Realtek ALC269VB, needs to manually edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to work

[Lorenzo Zoffoli]

I have a laptop ASUS N53Jq, it mounts Realtek ALC269VB as sound card.

Every time I install ubuntu I need to add: "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to get it to work.

It is not so annoying, 'cause it is necessary only once per installation, but if it were not necessary it would be great!

Regards,

@David: When using that response, please fill in BUGNUMBER , as it could confuse the user.
More generally, when something is capitalized like BUGNUMBER, RELEASE, etc., you should fill it in.

The user reports that he needs to add model=auto for audio to
work properly. In fact, since node 0x15 is not even a pin node,
the existing fixup is definitely wrong. Relevant information can
be found in the buglink below.
