ALSA Upgrade Script

[MadeMyDay]

I try to install the script since yesterday, but I always get a timeout while connecting to

ftp.alsa-project.org|160.217.9.25|:21..

Is there any other way to get the new latest version?

Same problem as above. The script is constantly timeouting when trying to download from ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/
I hope they will fix their ftp soon.

Hey,

I resolved my problems with sound with this script (lite fixes about original script), orginal script and manual from here. For users at Acer Aspire 6920

Hello there!

Got some problems installing alsa... using the script.

Board: Asus M3A78-T with ALC1200 sound chip

1. Name your Ubuntu revision: 9.04
2. Kernel revision: 2.6.28-11-generic
3. Alsa revision
3.1 at the moment: 1.0.18
3.2 to be installed: 1.0.19
4. Upgrade script revision: 16

log during install reports:
configure: error: *** libasound has no external plugin SDK
alsa-plugins-1.0.19 configure failed

if needed, details can be obtained in the log files... in Desktop.zip


Hope you can help me, wanted to upgrade to get my SPDIF running(hopefully)... Tried really everything, but didn't help... :/ mixer is my second name...

Don't know why, but IEC958 regulater in mixer is missing, only IEC958 switch is present.

also check:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3e...2fc6bfb5d7161c


SOLVED:

seems like everything is working now, that error had no effect....
Well, also my SPDIF problem is resolved, simply by adding that 6stack-dig line!!

Just wanted to say thanks for this script. I just updated ALSA 1.0.18 -> 1.0.19 in Jaunty on my Lenovo S10 with no problems. After I installed 1.0.19 I went ahead and installed the latest driver snapshot. Then magically my internal mic started working. Now everything works correctly on this laptop.

Now for someone to take the next step and add a repository so we don't have to re-run the script every time the kernel or ALSA gets updated.

Also, I had to make a few minor changes tot he script since I use medibuntu. Basically I removed the packages that apt-get said had conflicts with my installation. Is there any known problems from doing this?

Thanks again for the script.

Just open up the script in a text editor and change ftp.alsa-project.org to one of their mirrors, such as http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.alsa-project.org/

header "Downloading and extracting ALSA packages..."
wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.alsa-project.org/driver/$DRIVER.tar.bz2 && tar -xjf $DRIVER.tar.bz2 
wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.alsa-project.org/firmware/$FIRMWARE.tar.bz2 && tar -xjf $FIRMWARE.tar.bz2 
wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.alsa-project.org/lib/$LIB.tar.bz2 && tar -xjf $LIB.tar.bz2 
wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.alsa-project.org/plugins/$PLUGINS.tar.bz2 && tar -xvf $PLUGINS.tar.bz2 
wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.alsa-project.org/utils/$UTILS.tar.bz2 && tar -xjf $UTILS.tar.bz2

Thanks for the tip about the mirrors, fasteddy86 - I needed to edit that before I could run, I guess the ftp site is borked for now.
