Sound Not Working On Asus Vivobook E406SA on Linux Lite 6.0

[Justin Walters]

Hey guys! I am having trouble with my sound on my Asus Vivobook E406SA on Linux Lite 6.0. More specifically, the sound card is not showing up on pavucontrol.

Here is my sound card: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series High Definition Audio Controller [8086:2284] (rev 35)

Can someone help me fix this?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I used sudo cp /var/lib/alsa/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.old to fix it. However, it does not work after a restart, and I have to reapply it every time.
