I have unzipped the "audio pack" and there is an installer that comes with it but I'm guessing that I perhaps should install it using something in ubuntu. You know that console thingy like the dos prompt. Or perhaps "add/remove progs"? here is the advice in the text file that came with it. Sorry for the large cut and paste. [quote] The source code copy from www.alsa-project.org. ver:3.3-4 Linux Source Code for ALC audio codec Support Codec list: ====AC97 Codec===== ALC100,100P ALC200,200P ALC650D ALC650E ALC650F ALC650 ALC655 ALC653 ALC658 ALC658D ALC850 ALC101 ALC202 ALC250 ALC203 ====HD Audio codec ==== ALC260 ALC262 ALC880 ALC882 ALC883 Installation: This Source Code is from www.alsa-project.org. For driver installation, please follow below steps. Automatic install: execute ./install Manual install: Step 1. unzip source code tar xfvj alsa-driver-1.0.9b_1.tar.bz2 Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on) Step 3. Complied source code a. cd alsa-driver-1.0.9b_1. b. ./configure c. make d. make install e. ./snddevices Step 4. Edit your /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules depending on the distribution (Please refer to the attached modules.conf) snd-xxxx is the card ID. -- Azalia controller --ALC880 ALC882 ALC260 ALC262 --- Intel ICH6 ICH7 --------- snd-hda-intel --- ATI chipset ----- snd-atiixp -- AC97 controller --ALC655 ALC650 ALC250 ALC255 --- Intel ICH6 ICH7 , SiS 7012 and NVidia---------- snd-intel8x0 --- Via8233 Via686a ------------------------------- snd-via82xx --- ATI Chipset ------------------------------- snd-atiixp Copy and paste this to the bottom of your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf file. # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-xxxx # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Step 5. reboot your machine Step 6. Use the alsamixer the disable mute (All audio line default is mute) *Must to compile and to install the ALSA library and utility. (Use automatic install is already install) excute alsamixer Note: 1. The most detail information, can refer the alsa-kernel/Documenttation/ALSA-Configuration.txt in the azx-021705.tar.bz2. 2. Kernel Version must be 2.2.14 or later. 3. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native or OSS mixer program to unmute appropriate channels. 4. If can not compile the source code, try to rename the /usr/src/linux-2.x -> /usr/src/linux. 5. The driver added to support the SPDIF functoin. 6. a. You can download the alsa-lib-1.0.9 and alsa-utils-1.0.9a form the www.alsa-project.org, then unzip and install them. b. Suggest use "alsamixer" to control mixer function. c. Used "alsaconf" can autodetect which drive you need to install (step 4). 7. SUSE Distribution must install the ncurses package. [/quote] Loading...
