Hi, I installed the 2.6 kernel and I compiled as module the alsa drivers. I also installed the alsa uitls and alsa libs, version 0.98. I found out that the drivers that come with the kernel are pretty old, version 0.97.
How can I use the newest alsa drivers? My soundcard is supported with the snd_intel8x0 module and I have to say that with the current drivers it works fine. However, when I type dmesg I get this message ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1739: AC'97 0:0 analog subsections not ready I have an ASUS P4PE motherboard with an onboard soundcard. The specifications are ADI1980 6-channel CODEC When I was using the 2.4 kernel (OSS drivers), the dmesg will give me informations about the number of channels that are activated, but with the ALSA drivers I get only the message that I wrote above. I want to use the ALSA drivers, because they support the soundcard (I do not have to plug the speakers in the mic line), but I am afraid that the drivers that come with the 2.6 kernel are old. What is your opinion? If I use the new drivers will it help? I saw also that a bug was fixed in the new drivers. If I need to use the new drivers, could you give me some instructions on how to do it?
