Thank you so so so much for taking the time to write that! But before I read you message I actually had to restart my laptop for a different reason and the sound still works. This is very weird because it said in the link to the script that it wouldn't still work after a reboot, but it is. Thanks again so much!!!!

YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used this https://gist.githubusercontent.com/eddy-geek/ef86267fbec87479aba905302909921a/raw/ script and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're amazing!

Now... Can you please explain how to make it not go away after a reboot...? Thanks!

The script worked ran this time but there's still no sound. :-( Thank you so so so much though, I really appreciate your help! Let me know if you've got any other tricks up your sleeve ;-)

This is what I get when I type that command https://paste.sh/LO5_DWqx#lF9KhOFkNlg4x8kiK1DiHKeu

Thanks again so so much!

Genius! I got it to move but I don't understand the next step, and also the sound still isn't working even though I pressed 'run as program'.

Thank you so so so so much for all this research!!!!!!!!! But it's not letting me move the file to /usr/local/sbin and I also don't understand the step after that. Again, thank you so so much!!!!

Thanks. I went through everything and nothing helped, so i ended up here http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=cfe7c5cf3476caed4ce97187f04e2393aa009385 Thank you to anyone who understands it and can help :-)
