I wanted to try out oss because sound on alsa is not great. I am on elementaryOS Loki which is built on ubuntu.



Anyways I installed alsa-oss using sudo apt-get install alsa-oss but it didn't recognize my sound card(its Realtek ac290). So I uninstalled it and now I dont have any sound. I have tried reinstalling alsa using



 sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2


but this doesnt fix anything, still no sound.
When I type alsamixer in terminal I get
:cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

Please help!

          sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)


          This command reinstalled all the missing drivers and fixed the problem.
          I will just leave it here so that it can help others in future.
