Sound is not working
kyrios Well, I'm a unique animal, I kinda like the pc action sounds, hate music (oh yeah...rare bird), and hate beeping appliances like the microwave. If it weren't for pc notification sounds, occassional tv, and my dogs, I'd live in a mostly silent world. It's all different strokes for different folks.
Emperor it is not about making combinations.
tee is a linux command:
❯ whatis tee
tee (2) - duplicating pipe content
tee (1) - read from standard input and write to standard output ...
tee (1p) - duplicate standard input
❯ tee --help
Usage: tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.
-a, --append append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
-i, --ignore-interrupts ignore interrupt signals
-p diagnose errors writing to non pipes
--output-error[=MODE] set behavior on write error. See MODE below
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit

Open nautilus the file explorer and check if there is any folder with name "modprobe.d" inside "etc" folder.
so path is /etc/modprobe.d/
This command:
echo "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
adds: options snd-hda-intel model=generic
on alsa-base.conf file.
If the file doesn't exit, it will be created.
if it exists them the option -a will add a new line "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" at the end of file alsa-base.conf
without -a, it will overwrite everything and there will be only the line "options snd-hda-intel model=generic".

kyrios algent
Well I tried everything xD First created modprobe.d directory (via sudo command from kyrios)...
then used algent commands...and then the old commands from watpi...no result-so I restarted and this time there is digital HDMI...but there is no sound using either one of them:
I quick look at pulse audio shows there is still nothing other than digital output available.

Emperor The screenshot shows that the command succeeded.
Set auto-mute to disabled (via alsamixer). Then in pavucontrol select Internal Audio as device
[deleted]
Emperor What output devices do you see on pavucontrol?
[deleted]
Emperor You need to set that as analog stereo duplex. Dunno why it says it's unplugged though.

Emperor Does it work on another operating system?
Try echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

[deleted] Wow...now the combination of using analog stereo duplex and the command got the sound working
But from time to time it gets back to digital...also the front jack is just not working...I had to connect the jack directly to the motherboard outputs...on the 1st only left speaker works..on the 3rd only the right works and on the 2nd both of them work! But they work in many modes like 5.1 or 7.1 or just analog stereo...not sure which one to use...also the sound from both speakers is a little strange(maybe just that I used only the right one thinking the left one is broken).
But now when they work I lost my sound on W10 xD
Got it to work for a little but it was strange as in Solus and there was only music-the voice of the speaker is so low that it's very hard to hear it.
Speaker fill option is the difference between sound working bad and not working at all...
Also on the folder on the top right there is an option to dissable front panel jack detection...if it's not used the front jack would not work-so if there is an analog of this in Solus it would make front panel work

Emperor It's a matter of fiddling with alsamixer and pavucontrol. Some soundcards are tricky. Basically you just need to use the right output device.
So here is a picture of my real panel:
So first the sound worked on the black port...on the left and right of it worked either the left or right port.
The sound of W10 become good the moment I used the port below the black one-it;s kinda green.
So it works on Solus too...the problem is that this jack was once repaired and even the most gentle movement can cause the left speaker to not work or to lower the power of sound...I used tape to partly solve that...
Now the new questions :
1-The experience is a little buggy so how do I solve that(on hardware level-the cable/jack).
2-As I got my long awaited welcoming sound how do I turn it off
3-From time to time(maybe because of movement) sound changes from analog to digital...also when it's analog and it's working it's shown as unplugged.
4-I got a ton of unnecessary crap programs for managing sound-which ones I can remove and how?

Emperor Yeah, if your speakers are 2.0 or 2.1 you definitely should use the green port.
