I got a new Desktop PC recently because my 8-year-old PC just hadn’t enough power to handle my current workloads. And as we all know: New Hardware brings new challenges, especially if you are using Linux. It is a nice machine with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU and 128GB Ram. But the Mainboard I chose seems to have some quirks. It is a “MAG X570 Tomahawk WIFI” Mainboard from MSI. Overall it works fine, but Linux is unable to detect the sound card, which is a Realtek ALC1200 Chip. This also brings me to the topic of this post.
