I have just bought a new Dell Vostro i3 and installed Ultimate Edition 3.4 Lite 64bit. When I plug in my headphones the speakers continue working normally as if my headphones were not detected then occasionally I get sound from both. I fixed the issue following the indtructions from the Ubuntu official documentation at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS

But I mistakingly run the command line below(which is for asus not dell) and I want to undo the changes it has done to my sytem :

Code: Select all
echo "options snd-hda-intel model=asus" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


heelp :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Code: Select all
 sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


Then check the alsa settings with alsamixer.

well, you can use the arrow keys to navigate to the line you want to delete. Then right arrow to the end of that line. Then delete with backspace. Then to save ctrl+X, Y (it will ask if you WANT to), then Enter.


OR you can replace nano with Gedit, kate, etc. Your favorite text editor....
