This is low priority because at least I have sound working.
I just migrated to a new computer and copied my config files over. Sound is working fine although at one point when I plugged in a USB audio interface (Scarlett) it tagged that as default and I lost my browser sound. That seems to be sorted now by a reboot is all.
In the KDE launch panel that shows notifications, speaker, clipboard.. etc.. the speaker icon has a red slash across it like it isn't correct. If I click on that, I can adjust volume for the motherboard audio and browser volumes if active (google-chrome and firefox). But if I click on the speaker icon and then the slider icon in lower right corner, all I get is one tab for HD-Audio Generic and on that tab is to names: IEC958 and IEC958 2. The "all controls" button says already showing if I click it. The old computer, when clicking on the speaker icon, showed all the sliders for headphone.. etc. like when I currently fire up alsamixer, which also shows HD-Audio Generic.
The particulars:
~./.asoundrc: | Code: | #pcm.!default {
# type plug
# slave {
# pcm "hw:1,0"
# }
#}
#ctl.!default {
# type hw
# card 1
#}
#defaults.pcm.!card PCH
#defaults.pcm.!device 1
#defaults.pcm.!ctl PCH
#pcm.!default {
#type hw
#card 1
#device 0
#}
defaults.pcm.!card Generic_1

Do you have a /etc/modprobe/alsa.conf ?
In my particular setup, since I only use a USB soundcard and I don't need anything else, I have this :
| Code: | options snd_usb_audio index=0
# disable hdmi (0), disable internal (0), enable usb (1)
options snd_hda_intel index=-2 enable=0,0,1 |
HDMI (don't use that) & Internal (audio jack broken on case) are disabled and only usb is enabled and made default (index=0)
In your case, you could try to add :
| Code: | | snd_usb_audio index=2 |
so it doesn't mess with internal (and default). I vaguely remember sometimes after a reboot the index was changing itself and consequently I lost sound. (the above config fixes it) |

I had forgotten about that file.. I do have it copied over when I migrated from an old system, apparently. But I don't think I have any alsa modules (everything built into the kernel regarding sound), if that matters. And when I googled that file, I found this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/713732 that states the file is obsolete and they are quitting it.
Nevertheless, I could try your suggestion to keep the USB device from becoming default.
The file is a mess from the old days. I could probably get rid of all the OSS stuff but not really sure about anything else.:
| Code: |
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1

Poking around I found another file dated 2014. It is:
| Code: | ~./.alsaplayer
#
# alsaplayer config file
#
# Only edit this file if the application is not active.
# Any modifications might (will!) be lost otherwise.

Googling this file hasn't shown me much yet. I nuked it and no change.
