https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/184314/comments/43 was my attempt to put the information in one place. Clearly it was inadequate, assuming a lot of Linux knowledge. However, I'm afraid I don't have time to make it that complete. You will find that to be a reality of learning Linux. People will often just say RTFM. That's unfortunate, but I can relate to those who do. I'll try to do one better. Whenever people have said RTFM to me I've always responded with "WFM?!" At the bottom of this post I'll point you to some of the manuals you should read.
Yes, later updates of Ubuntu have required that I reinstall my changed version of ALSA. Not every update, but every six months or so. So far I've been able to get away with ALSA 1.0.20. However the latest is 1.0.22 and I haven't tried that. I only have had no sound on YouTube. It's working now. Have you run "Update Manager"? It's under System and then Administration...or just click on the orange/yellow triangle with the exclamation point on the upper right of your screen. Here are those manuals that I promised. I recommend that you get familiar with the shell commands by typing "man sh". Specifically, read about cd ls pwd & You can search in man with the forward slash. For example "/ cd" will search the first time. A forward slash by itself will repeat the search. Also look up the following with man. For example, "man ln" ln sudo rm tar Also, read the help in gedit. Start gedit with "gedit &" and then use the Help menu Then, the rest of the instructions you need are available from the ALSA project (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page). Some of the information is on the website. Some of it is in readme and install.txt files in the downloads. The basics for installing most packages from source are: ./configure make sudo make install However, you need to make sure you have the development tools installed on your system. Use Synaptic Package Manager (under System / Administration) to get them. The long range solution here is not step by step instructions. It's convincing the hardware manufacturers to truly support Linux. making the instructions obsolete. Write them. -- Headphone jack does not work in NC1502 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
