Just received my replacement. I ordered a slightly different. Same chip but $1.00 cheaper and white. I don't know why...
Shows up just fine
Here's dmesg

So looks like not loading driver.
I'm looking at adjusting /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
I know this is more duct tape. Should I be looking somewhere else in lmce boot scripts?
Thanks
