[IDT 92HD75B3X5] pactl stat failed to find default card - no sound and the sound settings will not load

It's interesting that you removed a fairly significant part of the desktop audio stack as a workaround to an issue (did you report it in Launchpad?), and now things don't work as expected. ;) Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo.

I searched all the forums about the crash for pSX and they all indicated to either remove pulseaudio or kill it. I tried to kill it first, but when killall didn't fix the issue, I removed it and still had sound on everything. However, the sound went away after I reinstalled pulseaudio.

Here are the results on the alsa-info:

Hi,

Your ALSA output shows the following issue:

Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 64
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-48.00dB] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-48.00dB] [on]

Simple mixer control 'Mux',0
  Capabilities: cvolume penum
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 3
  Front Left: Capture 0 [0%] [0.00dB]
  Front Right: Capture 0 [0%] [0.00dB]

Please use gnome-alsamixer to increase volume on the Speaker and Mux channels.

Then retest sound using headphones and speakers.

If that does not help, please try this solution:

1. Open a terminal and use the gedit editor to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as follows:

Run the following command in a Terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

When the file is open, please add the following 3 lines to the end of the file after "options snd-pcsp index=-2"

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 enable_msi=1

2. Save/close and reboot

This will probably only give sound through the laptop speakers, but not via the headphones. Still, better than no sound at all.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mark
