Today for some obscure reason instead of going out in Brazilian's carnival I was at home trying to configure my Acer 3820t to work with Ubuntu 10.10. The sound was great but I've decided to upgrade and all I've done was messing the driver and the sound suddenly stop working.
So after 5hours of Google I've found this thread, ran the script and it worked perfectly.
Thank you very much!!!!
I seem to be having difficulties with this alsa upgrade. I get an error when I begin the installation process " -i " and here's the error I come across :
" checking for new_panel in -lpanelw... no
configure: error: panelw library not found"
any help would be appreciated
Did you have synaptic or some other package manager open when you ran -d part? panelw is part of the libncursesw5-dev, which should have been installed in the -d phase.
Hi Temüjin,
Thank you so much for this script, after running it with no errors I got the sound working properly through my headphones and I also got the function keys working (all of them not only for controlling sound volume)
BUT without the headphones in, the sound will only come through the subwoofer. I've got an MSI GT729 (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT729.html#/?div=Overview) with a 4.1 Dolby system and if I could get at least the stereo speakers working I'll be happy.
I removed pulseaudio then reinstalled it, I added that line to alsa.conf and nothing works. I can't enable 4.1 anywhere. Or at least stereo through the front speakers not mono through the subwoofer.
Can you please help?

Thanks for this. I was having that issue with sound only playing from one application. I purged whatever alsa was on my system from the vanilla install, and reinstalled using this script. Viola I can run multiple programs and hear sound! There was most likely an easier way to go about this, but whatever! Haha.
Hi folks.

I'd like to thank Temüjin for taking this project on.
It's not that I became lazy:
I'm busy in tweaking and supporting the Squeezebox Touch community with my modification scripts (Touch Toolbox 2.0) to improve its sound quality.
The Touch is running an embedded Linux, which I'm heavily tweaking.

I just installed 2.6.38 and was surprised not to find Alsa 1.0.24 in there.
After updating my own old script I ran into the same problem as you guys:
"No sound"
I thought , must have been a while since I played around with all this.
Good to find that thread and the solution over here.
I btw. removed Pulseaudio. Since then I feel much better.
Cheers

Hi there.
Just to share a finding.
Just figured that my HDSP Mixer app (handles RME soundcards) wouldn't work with current alsa-tools 1.0.24.1
The issue has been fixed in the current alsa-tools git.
Howto:
git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-tools.git alsa-tools
just copy the content of ./alsa-tools over to /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-tools-1.0.24.1/
sudo cp -r ./alsa-tools/* /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.24/alsa-tools-1.0.24.1/
and than run the upgradescript with option -t.
Cheers
