There is some definite progress with the recent driver snapshots (since 1.0.14rc2). Using alsa-driver-hg20070217.tar.bz2, amixer and gnome-alsamixer both work, and after setting up xmms to use the software mixer, it's working as well. This is a big step forward - it's the first time I've been able to boot this laptop and reliably have sound under Linux. Up until now, it's been hit-or-miss whether OSS emulation would emit sound, perhaps at a very low level, etc., and none of the alsa tools worked at all. To keep those interested from having to browse the thread, this is regarding an Acer Aspire 5102 WMLi, with a Realtek ALC883, using the hda-intel driver. I'm using the stock Debian kernel that's currently in etch (2.6.18-3). Many thanks to the ALSA developers! tony tony mancill wrote: > FWIW, I'm having problems with this same laptop as well (i386).
