I have installed ubuntu 14.04 on new computer. I have soundcard integrated in motherboard MSI B150M Pro-vd but my sound card is not detected. How do I get configs/drivers to get it to work.

aplay -l:

"Device a170" shows that your distribution's lspci doesn't yet know the PCI ID of that device, so it's likely that the kernel driver does not know it either.

Consider using a more modern distribution, or at least update the kernel.
