Here are some quick instructions. Start with a system with a recent kernel and ALSA configured normally (standard Ubuntu installation). At this point you'll have a GNOME mixer that works but the volume will be way too low. Then make sure you have the following things installed (I may be forgetting a few but configure will tell you about them):
* normal compiler stuff (build-essential package) * kernel headers for your kernel (linux-headers-<yourkernelversion> package) Download the ALSA driver archive (you won't need alsalib or alsautils) from the ALSA site (ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa- driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2). Extract and build the drivers for just the hda-intel card: % tar xvjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2 % cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3 % ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel % make -j 8 % sudo make install "make -j 8" is nice on a Mac Pro. :) After you run "sudo make install" some newer modules will be copied into /lib/modules/<yourkernelversion>, and you'll need to unload the old ones, then reload the newer hda-intel to start using it. Or you could reboot and you're done, but reloading isn't too hard. To reload: * Close any applications that are using the old snd-hda-intel module (mixers, music players, etc.). * Remove the old snd modules. I use a command like: % lsmod |grep ^snd | cut -f 1 -d " " |xargs sudo rmmod * Load the new module: % modprobe snd-hda-intel Now everything should work. When you reboot, the newer modules should load automatically. If you install a new kernel (via apt-get upgrade or however), you'll have to repeat this process from the "./configure" step on. Hopefully my formatting survives the Launchpad submission. -- Sound not working well on Apple Mac Pro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
