Hello Everyone, So I've been trying to get my laptop (ASUS u52) microphone to work. First off, if anybody knows how to get the builtin microphone to work without bothering with alsa-driver-linuxant, or if I didn't know the correct google-foo to find a binary package for alsa-driver-linuxant that works with debian, then please cut me off.
Beginning how I (unsuccessfully) attempted to solve the problem, I read at [1] that the workarounds at [2] worked for the u52. It says that installing the linuxant alsa drivers fixes problems with the microphone. So, I grab the latest version of the driver, unzip, and try to install the deb package. It fails on configure, so I install the kernel sources, make menuconfig (just accepting the defaults), etc until I have a completely prepared source distribution. After copying over version.h from /usr/include/linux, alsa-driver-linuxant configures correctly. Here's where it begins to fall apart. I'm running debian unstable amd64 on linux kernel version 2.6.39. First I find that include/linux/smp_lock.h was removed from kernel 2.6.39. I try to get away with just copying over the blob from version 2.6.38 (which seemed to work). However, now CC is complaining about implicit declaration of functions, which means the headers are all included but the functions aren't there anymore AFAIK, which means that the interface changed, which makes me think that the whole driver is incompatible with kernel 2.6.39. Is this true? Is it possible for me to run the driver without downgrading the kernel? Though I suppose it is an option... Thanks for any and all help, rbmj PS: If exact errors would help, I can supply. This seems like a bigger issue (again, AFAIK) then just a normal compilation error.
