Moving on to option 2, simply upgrade the alsa driver. Many patches
have been added to the alsa driver since 1.0.12rc1, particularly with
reference to the snd-hda-intel module, so go to the link below, and
download alsa driver 1.0.17, which is the current stable version.
http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
I'd suggest creating a new folder in your /home/user directory for
this Alsa stuff. I simply name mine Alsa-drivers, and download all
the Alsa packages into this folder/directory.
You now need to install some packages, so as to get your newly
downloaded alsa driver built, and installed.
Su to root on the CLI, and open synaptic, and install the following
packages. build-essential kernel-package linux-headers-2.6.18-6
That done, close synaptic,and run apt-get install
linux-headers-$(uname -r)
This will install the headers for your kernel.
Now to build, and install the 1.0.17 alsa driver.
As user, cd to where you downloaded the driver, then do: tar xjvf
alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2
A new folder/directory has now been created, so do:
cd alsa-driver-1.0.17
Now type: ./configure, and when that runs to completion, type: make,
which may take some time. When make completes, with hopefully no
errors, su to root, and type make install. If all has gone well, and
after a reboot, (using the Etch kernel, not the musix one, if you've
also installed that) running cat /proc/asound/version should now show
the alsa driver as 1.0.17.
Now you may, or may not have better control of sounds on your T60.
That seems to work on my laptop. See threat *Compiling alsa-driver-1.0.17
for Debian etch* on this list for details.
Big *thank you* goes to Nigel.
Cheers
Sam
