Alsa 1.0.18 Installation Script

[costre]

Well, I can describe my way of getting it to work.

1.) Download and install the latest Alsa update, as described by soundcheck:
http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.p...0&d=1226491630

2.) Sudo open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and find the line "options snd-hda-intel model=". Make it look like

options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire

3.) Download hda-verb from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/...rb-0.2.tar.bz2 . Unpack it, and use "make" in the folder to compile the files.

4.) Copy the created files into /usr/local/bin

5.) Sudo open /etc/rc.local and add the line

/usr/local/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE 2

6.) Reboot, and it should work from now on.

That's how I did it, thanks to jansaell and soundcheck!

Well, you don't need the alsa 1.0.18 at all to do this so you may just skip step one. Also this set of instructions flooded all over the forum only works for Hardy.

Tkx for the script

I'm having problem to have my sound card to work with Intrepid Ibex 8.10
my laptop is an acer aspire 6920
running Intrepid Ibex 8.10
Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
Chip ALC889

Everything was working grate on ubuntu 8.04
than upgrade to Ibex and sound card went down.



Tkx to reply

I second this. Running Intrepid Ibex 8.10 i386 kernel 2.6.27-7-generic on an Acer Aspire 6920G which has the same Realtek ALC889 chip.

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

output:
Codec: Realtek ALC889
Codec: LSI ID 1040

We're getting in the area of 1000 downloads of the current and earlier scripts I guess. Shouldn't be the script causing the trouble!

It is still not working? What does the installation log file say?

[EasyRiderOnTheStorm]

It didn't work for me.

I ran first the download only, that finished without errors.
Then I tried to run compile, which failed with the attached log.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 with a 2.6.24-21-generic kernel, so this may or may not be related to the note in the first post regarding my kernel version and alsa 18. I have Intel HDA on-board sound, with an ALC880 on it. Unfortunately, I can't make heads or tails of make error messages in general - I only know it won't compile. Help, please...?

Ran into the same problem. Any suggestion?

[soundcheck]

I am aware that 1.0.18a is not compiling on 2.6.24. This is a known problem.

I issued a TT to the ALSA-mailing list. No answer yet.

I again issued a mail today.
