Just download the latest alsa, compile it on the machine you want to use it on with the appropriate kernel source tree and config file, and install it. (NOte you need to check to see if the files in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/snd have a .o or .ko extention, or are compressed ( eg .ko.gz) If so, then the alsa make install screws up and you need to run find /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/snd -name snd\*.\*o.gz|xargs rm first so as to remove the old modules. Note also that debian is the worst distribution to use if you want to support the latest hardware. They purposely trade off support for stability. That may be a good tradeoff for some, but support for sound hardware is not one of the places. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
