no sound on microWatt R10, help

[gychang]

I have following:

apa@i3-Main:/proc/asound$ cat cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7f10000 irq 30
 1 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
                      HDA ATI HDMI at 0xf7e30000 irq 31
 2 [U0x46d0x825    ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x825
                      USB Device 0x46d:0x825 at usb-0000:00:14.0-2, high speed

when I change the card on alsamixer to 1, I only get control for s/pdif, no "master" or "PCM" etc.

on my alsa-base.conf is below

How do I set to the correct card and have the volume adjuster?

I have had this problem in the past, if you have not fixed it yet, I'll break out a laptop and plug it into an HDMI monitor and see if I can replicate and give you the steps. - Thanks for being patient.

Hi ,

I am still facing the same issue.

On a fresh install I can hear sound.
However after  sudo apt-get upgrade, (I'm sure this updates alsa related stuff)  the sound stops working.
I'm using Lenovo e470 with built-in intel sound card.
