[Alsa-user] snd-hda-intel nvidia 8200 Realtek ALC1200 not found

2008-12-12 Thread Darren Hart
I'm trying to build 1.0.18a on Ubuntu 8.10 in order to get HDMI audio output on my Acer X1200. However, after building the drivers, lib, utils, and tools packages (plugins fails to compile for me - working with the debian package guys on that), I load the snd-hda-intel driver and see the following

It's not the first time perfect bits are discussed here. Last time I managed to stop the fruitless discussion part by reminding that any CD with 44100Hz sample rate is produced from material sample at much higher sample rate, and quality resampling is used. So, rather than being afaraid of resamp
