[2 <text/html; ISO-8859-1 (quoted-printable)>] Thanks, a few more questions.. sorry I don't understand most of this..
- hda-verb - I can't find this.. what is it? Where do I run it?
See Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt in the recent linux tree, or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/docs/HD-Audio.pdf
- Inside of the snapshot, there are three steps (6, 7,8 below) that I need
help with..
The installation step for the snapshot tarball is identical with the released version. If you installed already alsa-driver tarball, do it just in the same way.
If you haven't done it yet, just do the following four steps:
% ./configure --with-debug=full --enable-dynamic-minors % make % su # make install-modules

6 - i already have /dev/snd with some stuff in it... so, I won't run this step.. 7 - edit it to do what? 8 - I dont know the name of my card..
- Run the './snddevices' script to create new sound devices in /dev
directory. Skip this step, if you have already /dev/snd/* files, or if you're using a DEVFS or udev.
Edit your kernel module config (either /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf, depending on the kernel version). If you are not sure, what to do, you may try the alsaconf script available in the alsa-utils package.
Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card. Note: All ALSA ISA drivers support ISA PnP natively, so you don't need isapnptools any more. Don't use both together. It will conflict. For disabling the ALSA ISA PnP support, specify --with-isapnp=no configure switch.
