Good results with alsa 0.92

[Ralph Scharpf]

Hi folks,

I have installed the latest alsa9 drivers on my debian woody system. The driver seems to work without any problems. I was even able to record with audacity.

The alsa version I am using is:

cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.2.
Compiled on Apr 12 2003 for kernel 2.4.18 with versioned symbols.

I had to configure/compile from source package. There seems to be no precompiled packages for alsa 0.9.

Currently I have installed the following alsa-packages:

dpkg -l *alsa* | grep ^ii
ii alsa-base 0.9.2-2 ALSA sound driver common files
ii alsa-headers 0.9.2-2 ALSA sound driver header files
ii alsa-source 0.9.2-2 ALSA sound driver source
ii alsa-utils 0.9.0beta12-1 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (utils)

The best is to install/configure/compile first the alsa-source package and then rest to avoid errors with missing modules.

I forgot to report my hardware. I have a nforce2 based system. It's an EP8rda+.

So everything is related to the buildin i810 sound.
