echo "options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/hda.conf
It replaced the entire contents of the file with that one line.
I finally gave up on trying to find a way to restore the file and installed mint on another drive, then copied the file contents from the new hda.conf file.
Stupid tee command has overwrite as the default instead of an option. It's shit like this that makes people afraid to use the command line.

mistakes SHOULD make you afraid to repeat them.

>>106170622 (OP)
take it as a lesson OP. don't just blindly run shit that other people say "totally fixed their problem". understand what the command is doing. check if you already have that file and what you already have in it. look at the documentation for how the file works.

>>106170722
Yes, and to make a backup of the files in question.

>>106171424
>>106170722
This. Backup the file, and always check "man <command>" to see its documentation.
That way if it borks, you can go in externally and restore the backup from another OS.

Next time find out which package installs that file and reinstall that package.

I did reinstall modprobe but the file was still wrecked.

you could have at least ran that through an AI to tell you what the fuck it does before blindly run it in your machine.
Your fault, really.

Beats having your pc broken

Why do you even have a hda.conf?
Also I'm pretty sure you can name the conf you put this crap into whatever you want. Mine with that line is called alsa-base.conf, and I don't even remember why I named it that.

>>106174719
And he still would have attained a better outcome than OP.

>alsa-base.conf, and I don't even remember why I named it that.
Because you didn't. That's a system file installed according to your hardware.

>>106175401
No it wasn't, I made it 100%. I use Arch Linux btw.

you mean being a retard? The command line is not for retards
we exist in a time you can copy paste anything into an ai GOD and it will tell you exactly what it does and people still YOLO shit

>>106170622 (OP)
I've never run a command that I didn't understand in-depth before. Wow, you are such a fool, unlike me.

WAHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHH TIME TO CRY ON 4CHAN

>>106175530
I don't see how that could even break the PC. I mean what the hell did that file originally contain that was so bad to overwrite? I got nothing like that file on my system and my sound works.

>>106175514
if you treat your computer like cattle you better be prepared to reinstall at a moments notice

>>106175896
I treat my computer very gently, I'll have you know.

moooooooooooommm linux broke again

>>106174719
More resourceful and capable apparently.
