Audio drivers for Realtek ALC1150 for linux

[tlink]

pretty much whats in the title, i just can't seem to wrap my head around how to get the drivers installed correctly. or maybe they already are installed but i just don't get the audio working for some reason. its for the asus z170 pro gaming motherboard. i never really had to deal with linux drivers before so im a noob when it comes to this. tried googling and only found other people complaining about it without a solution. appearantly the Realtek ALC1150 has bad linux support.

Drivers aren't really a thing in Linux, at least not in the sense of a Windows driver. It's more of control files and dependencies. Most things that work magically in Windows need you to go through what I affectionately refer to as "dependency hell". I beleive the ALSA drivers work well with realtek stuff, I would try that.

which linux distro & kernel are you using? I'm seeing a forum post that suggests you need at least kernel 4.2

theres also this on the debian wiki which i would do last and only if i was using a kernel as old as debians

Are you using Nvidia drivers? you sound might be outputting through HDMI, on ubuntu you can fix this through the settings GUI
