Asla-base.conf

@Atomize When you navigate to /etc/modprobe.d and list the contents with ls? Is other stuff in there?

@Atomize Please paste the exact output from the console - including command entered. Looks like your didn't paste the above or if you did, there is a missing / in the error so I want to verify paths.

Please use a code block - http://commonmark.org/help/

That's what I followed and it all worked up to the ctl x to save and all I get is no such file etc.

Atomize

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

That enters me into nano

options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1
options snd slots=snd-usb-audio,snd-bcm2835

Ctrl+X Y to save then I get the error no such file..

Atomize

@obsidianspider

Can not access no such file or directory

BuZz

@Atomize To save, it's better to do ctrl+o, then ctrl+x.

What's the output of ls -la /etc/modprobe.d ?

Atomize

@BuZz
Says

Ls: cannot access /etc/modprobe.d: no such file or directory

@Atomize Then you have accidentally removed an important configuration folder I think - However I have no idea of your set-up as you didn't provide any info when posting as requested when registering.

Are you using Berryboot for example ?

You should probably get a fresh image, as if that folder is missing, others may be too (unless you are using berryboot in which case the folder may not be there)

Open /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf

Add the lines

options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1
options snd slots=snd_usb_audio,snd_bcm2835

Ctl + X and it did save.

Thanks all for the help.
