Thanks for the reply Gene. I was trying to find out if the alsa driver 1.0.15
was now in the 2.6.23 kernel, but just having seen a post to the alsa user
list, it's being pushed to the 2.6.24 kernel. I'd obviously misread the
previous post.
Nice to see you have an audigy2 like me, and your snd-intel8x0 appears to be
working ok. The same can't be said for those folks with snd-hda-intel,
especially on laptops, where if it doesn't work, the only alternative is a
usb, or pcmcia soundcard.
I only mention the hda-intel cards because I'm trying to help someone with a
problem with no sound on their Acer Aspire 5720 notebook, using the ALC268
codec. Patches to fix problems with Realtek codecs are in alsa driver 1.0.15,
but as 1.0.15 is not going to turn up until the 2.6.24 kernel, I need to find
out how to upgrade a 1.0.14 alsa driver for a currently running 2.6.22 kernel
to the latest 1.0.15 one.
That's my problem though, and on a different thread.
All the best.
Nigel.
