[Alsa-user] Snd-hda-intel Alsa problems in Debian Etc

[Kevin B. <kev...@gm...>]

The sound on my Gateway MT6821 laptop only works  on boot when Alsamixer
shows two options
"Master and PCM" but sometimes it shows three options instead "Master
 PCM and SPDIF". When it shows all three options on a reboot my sound
doesn't work on my
laptop computer speakers or headphones (jack).
