[opensuse] how to update alsa to 1.0.14rc2 on Suse 10.1 with checkinstall?
I hope someone can shed some light on this problem. I've been working on this for months and have tried the alsa users list. I would like to update alsa to try to get a micorophone to work with my laptop. I am using Suse 10 .1 with kernel 2.6.16.27-0.6-smp. The sound card on my laptop (a HP DV2035us) works but not the microphone. some specs on my soundcard: #lspci 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) #cat /proc/asound/dev0/codec#0 Codec: Generic 14f1 ID 5047 I have alsa-firmware-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsa-devel-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsa-docs-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsa-plugins-1.0.10-15 alsa-tools-gui-1.0.11-16 alsa-tools-1.0.13-0.pm.1 alsa-1.0.13-0.pm.0 alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-558 The following tar.bz2 packages are availbble from ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver * Driver 1.0.14rc2 * Library 1.0.14rc2 * Lib-plugins 1.0.14rc2 * Utilities 1.0.14rc2 * Tools 1.0.14rc1 * Firmware 1.0.14rc2 * OSS Compat. Library 1.0.12 But I want to maintain the integrity of the rpm database by creating rpms of those packages using checkinstall. I did the following: $> bunzip2 alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 $> tar -xvf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2.tar $> ./configure --with-debug=full --with-cards=hda-intel $> make $> su -, then root passwd : $#>checkinstall I built rpm's of all the new (1.0.14rc2) packages I listed in the same way. Then installed the seven new rpm's rpm -Uvh alsa*.rpm found all the audio modules $#> lsmod |grep -i snd Removed all modules $#>rmmod snd_hda_intel $#>rmmod snd_hda_codec $#>rmmod snd_pcm $#>rmmod snd_timer $#>rmmod snd $#>rmmod soundcore $#>rmmod snd_page_alloc $#>modprobe snd-hda-intel $#>alsamixer The new driver worked better and with alsamixer I got many more channels than with the original 1.0.13-0. The problem came when I rebooted - the card failed to work. I ran alsaconf and that seemed to work, but the Yast sound configuration tool fails to configure the card properly. Should I keep both the alsa-1.0.13-0.pm.0 rpm when installing the alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2.rpm that I created? I tried removing the alsa-1.0.13-0.pm.0 rpm, but then alsamixer does not exist. Which - if any - of the old (1.0.13-0) packages should I keep and which of the new tar.bz2 (1.0.14rc2) should I install? Any help would be appreciated.

I also have an HP laptop (not the same model) and the Microphone no longer works. I have compiled and installed the latest ALSA offerings and it did help the speakers but the Microphone is still dead. I am hopeful that the ALSA folks are working on this and that it will be fixed by 10.3 time frame. However, to get functionality again with Skype etc. I purchased a USB headset and that works. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Robert, Thanks for the virtually instant reply. Which USB headset did you get? Does it matter? Gus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Robert,
Thanks for the virtually instant reply. Which USB headset did you get? Does it matter? Gus
I deleted the above. I bought a Logitech At the time they had a sale that cut the price down to $19.99 to good to pass up. Premium USB Headset 350 http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=124502&WT.mc_n=4&WT.mc_t=U&cm_ven=COMPARISON%20SHOPPING&cm_cat=GOOGLE&cm_pla=DATAFEED-%3EPRODUCTS&cm_ite=1%20PRODUCT&cm_keycode=4 It works quite well. No analogue, controls all are digital. Mute button works quite well, maybe to wellas sometimes I accidently hit it. The volume control doesn't work at all with the alsa released with 10.2. I compiled and installed the latest alsa and now when I move the volume control a graphical volume indicator pops up and follows my control nicely but no volume change is heard. I suspect this is under development and therefor being worked on. The volume can be changed via kmix as the USB headset is recognized there and in Skype. One advantage is that Skype can put the ringing sounds through my speakers while routing the conversation through the headset. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks loads! I'll get one. Gus. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
