[Alsa-user] Loud pop from speakers when plugging out headphones/shutdown (ALC665 Intel HDA)

2011-06-19 Thread breakd...@paranoici.org
Hi all, I have a rather annoying problem with the audio system on my Dell XPS L502X laptop (ALC665 chipset). Basically, every time I plug out headphones or perform a shutdown, a loud pop sound (usually referred to as static noise, but way louder) can be heard from the left speaker. I would

Hi everyone! I'm currently expanding my knowledge of GNU/Linux to include building packages from scratch towards an overall goal of a custom distro. So far, I have a nice base for a command line OS, but want to expand into the multimedia aspect. Alsa was my first (only?) choice for the

Thanks for the reply Pierre. I checked into the blfs book, but it merely says these five chapters will cover alsa and then gives you a basic type configure make. This is obviously not going to answer the questions below. :) Any other thoughts? Dave On 06/19/2011 11:22 PM, Pierre Lorenzon

A) If you want to overwrite your existing distro's versions, you probably want the --prefix=/usr option on your ./configure commands. If not, be sure to change your $PATH to look at /usr/local FIRST. B) Compile alsa-lib first, alsa-driver second. Most compile options only need --prefix=/usr if

Hi James, thanks for your help too. :) I'll provide replies in the same fashion given. A) I don't want to overwrite the Kubuntu installation files as I'm compiling this version of alsa for my own distro. I would prefer to use Kubuntu's pre-packaged software within itself. So since the

--prefix is a ./configure option. If you're going to apply the new alsa to an existing distro kernel and not a custom from source one. You'll likely need to install the kernel-headers package for that kernel and distro. And may need to manually move the old version of alsa (or remove). Plus
