The patches that have been applied for 2.6.32 only add a model quirk so that you don't have to manually pass model=mbp5 to snd-hda-intel. > Fact is that with kernel 2.6.30-2, which has ALSA 1.0.20, from Debian > testing my MacBook Pro 5,2 is not working. There is no sound at all. This is, of course, unrelated to 2.6.32, which has a fairly different patch_realtek.c to 2.6.30's. > Compilation of ALSA sources 1.0.21 using the module assistant fails with > an error message regarding a missing curly bracket.

Debian provides /usr/sbin/alsa to do that: # /usr/sbin/alsa force-unload > * Will the support for the MacBook Pro 5,2 be part of the soon to be > released kernel 2.6.32? Limited support. For instance, jack sensing doesn't work; you need to manually adjust the 'Headphone' mixer control, among other things. > * Or is it already present in kernel 2.6.31? To some degree support is already present in 2.6.31. You just need to provide model=mbp5 manually after applying a patch. > * What is the correct parameter for the loading of the module?
