[alsa-devel] partial fix for bug #2708: [ALSA - driver] PCI - hda-intel

[Tobin Davis]

Could you try a more recent driver version from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver ?

There have been a lot of changes since 14rc3 was released, including
some Mac specific changes, although it may not be specific to your
system.

Also, if you could, rebuild 14rc2 with "./configure
--with-cards=hda-intel --with-debug=detect", reload them and test that
headphones work again, and send me the output from "dmesg|fgrep ALSA",
so I can hopefully determine which Node the headphones are on.
Additionally, if you could run
http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh on both 14rc2
and the latest driver for comparison, that would really help.

Thanks,

Tobin Davis
