I haven't tried it yet but I can try. Any quick tips on how to do it would be much appreciated.
Sure, no problem. There is a minor trick or two.
Make sure you have the same kernel-source installed as the kernel you are running. You can use 'uname -a' and 'rpm -q kernel-source' to check.
$ mkdir alsa-cvs
$ cd alsa-cvs
checkout the alsa cvs (details at http://alsa-project.org)
$ cd alsa-driver
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-verbose-printk
$ make (this takes a while)
if all goes well,
$ su
# rm -fr /lib/modules/2.4.22-2mdk/kernel/sound/*
(make sure you use the right kernel version!)
# make install
# depmod
(make sure depmod gives no errors, if so, likely your kernel and source don't match)
# service alsa restart
(again hope for no errors)
Now try out the sound. If it works, it means our kernel alsa is severly over- patched. If the problem persists, then alsa is majorly screwed. There is no mention of this problem on the alsa mailing list though... so I assume it's our fault somehow.
Thanks for your help, Austin
