Once I fire up "alsa reload" I get two entries, one for the Intel chip

Here are the messages relating to the failure to load the sound card:

[    9.239197] cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-0), error: -16
[    9.239231] hda-intel: Error creating card!
[    9.239293] HDA Intel: probe of 0000:00:10.1 failed with error -16
