Managed to work out how to repatch ALSA when needed (eg. when the kernel is updated).
Instructions for doing so are as follows: * download alsa-driver-1.0.16 source and extract * download this patch and extract to alsa-driver-1.0.16/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/ * configure by running "sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes", then 'sudo make' and 'sudo make install' * run "sudo cp /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/" * if you haven't done it yet already, be sure to add "options snd-hda-intel model=mitac" to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base -- Intel 82801H sound card speakers not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210865 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
