on ubuntu 8.04, amilo li 1705. firstly i installed build-essential and xmlto with aptitude in terminal.
sudo apt-get install build-essential xmlto i installed alsa-driver with patch (with modifications for via). bz2. with sudo ./configure after that i did make, and then make install. i installed the 1.0.18 release. then i did cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound run an 'ls' command from that directory i saw the list of folders, named like acore, drivers, i2c, isa, misc, pci, pcmcia, soc, synth, and usb. then cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/sound sudo ln -s ../../kernel/sound/ alsa-driver after: cd alsa-driver then: ls then rebooted. nothing happend. then i did: cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/sound then: sudo rm -r alsa-driver then: sudo ln -s ../../kernel/sound/ alsa-driver then cd alsa-driver and ls then reboot. i think these are the steps i did. anyway, it's really terrible thing with these drivers for alsa. it's second time i made it work, but last time it caused trouble with the network dhcp. i could get ip from network. some error appeared, though my headphones were working. last time i also followed the instructions from alsa website> "is my soundcard supported"> via>8237a . they have some list of instructions. but the other alsa libraries (alsa-utils, alsa-lib) caused some errors i couldn't descipher (while installing i refer, not only the dhcp issue that occured afterwards), so only a simple driver installation solved my problem. -- 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
