commit de8c85f7840e5e29629de95f5af24297fb325e0b ALSA: HDA: Sigmatel: work around incorrect master muting
Reverting this one helps.
The latter one?
Yeah. Otherwise I would write it to the former :).
Confirming - reverting that one commit fixes sound on my Dell laptop as well.
This might be a user-space issue, then.
That would be icky, if we have to lockstep a 2.6.37 kernel upgrade to an alsa-lib upgrade. Stuff like udev and perf having to lockstep is bad enough...
Could you try once the latest alsa-lib? If you are using SUSE packages, the snapshot rpms are available on OBS multimedia:audio:snapshot/alsa repo. (The version number of the package is still 1.0.22, but don't care; I just forgot to change the spec file.
Hmm... on my laptop, Fedora Rawhide is showing:
% rpm -qi alsa-lib Name : alsa-lib Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.0.23 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 1.fc14 Build Date: Fri 16 Apr 2010 07:48:17 AM EDT Install Date: Sun 18 Apr 2010 03:22:04 PM EDT Build Host: x86-02.phx2.fedoraproject.org Group : System Environment/Libraries Source RPM: alsa-lib-1.0.23-1.fc14.src.rpm Size : 1188301 License: LGPLv2+ Signature : (none) Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://www.alsa-project.org/ Summary : The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) library Description : The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system.
Is that "recent enough", or do I need to find something newer?
