Apparently there was a bug where the linux sound "system" would put the card in a very BAD state... I could not get my sound back even by reinstalling.

The fix, believe it or not, was to boot into Windows which reset the sound card on boot -- then sound worked fine.

I had the instance when sound would stop and even restarting the system or reseting the alsa settings or recompiling the alsa drivers would not fix the issue.

However... every time the problem could be simply fixed by booting into windows, logging into my profile and then restarting into linux.

AGAIN, restarting the system and booting back into Linux w/o booting into Windows would not fix the problem.
