ALSA Upgrade Script

[nolodude]

Argh, after upgrading kernel to version 2.6.32-24 sound stopped working. I ran Alsa upgrade script 1.0.23-2 with -r option and rebooted, and then tried to run the update again. Now I have run the script numerous times, tried snapshot and everything but it just doesn't upgrade alsa anymore. I'm stuck with version 1.0.22.1 and aplay -l doesn't even show my Intel HDA Audio that I use for HDMI

# cat /proc/asound/version 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1.
Compiled on Sep  7 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-24-generic (SMP).

Edit: Yay got it upgraded! Didn't realize I have to remove some of the Alsa packages manually first.

Had no sound after moving to 2.6.32-24-generic and eventually ran this script...

All I can say is "back of the net!"

I'm thinking about installing this, but i want to be safe.

Hello?

It is with the -r option.

Do you remember which ones? I'm stuck where you were.

alsa-base and alsa-utils

That didn't do it for me. I purged them, ran the script successfully, and /proc/asound/version still shows me the version that was on there before.

Do you have any alsa-backports?

Just -r, or with something else?
