After downloading a new kernel, you may need to run "make clean" before running the make. This is only if you are using a previously extracted directory.

Thanks. Your instructions worked perfectly. After the reboot I have to re-install my Nvidia drivers. Other than that everything went well. I have went months without sound.

[Bug 89980] Re: Sound not working well on Apple Mac Pro
Here are some quick instructions. Start with a system with a recent kernel and ALSA configured normally (standard Ubuntu installation). At this point you'll have a GNOME mixer that works but the volume will be way too low. Then make sure you have the following things installed (I may be forgetting a few but configure will tell you about them): * normal compiler stuff (build-essential package) * kernel headers for your kernel (linux-headers- package) Download the ALSA driver archive (you won't need alsalib or alsautils) from the ALSA site (ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa- driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2). Extract and build the drivers for just the hda-intel card: % tar xvjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2 % cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3 % ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel % make -j 8 % sudo make install "make -j 8" is nice on a Mac Pro. :) After you run "sudo make install" some newer modules will be copied into /lib/modules/, and you'll need to unload the old ones, then reload the newer hda-intel to start using it. Or you could reboot and you're done, but reloading isn't too hard. To reload: * Close any applications that are using the old snd-hda-intel module (mixers, music players, etc.). * Remove the old snd modules. I use a command like: % lsmod |grep ^snd | cut -f 1 -d " " |xargs sudo rmmod * Load the new module: % modprobe snd-hda-intel Now everything should work. When you reboot, the newer modules should load automatically. If you install a new kernel (via apt-get upgrade or however), you'll have to repeat this process from the "./configure" step on.

[Bug 89980] Re: Sound not working well on Apple Mac Pro
I have still been compiling ALSA drivers by hand, and because of other critical kernel bugs (ACPI), I can't use Ubuntu kernels newer than 2.6.20-12 on my Mac Pro, so I don't have a way to test.

[Bug 89980] Re: Sound not working well on Apple Mac Pro
The Mac Pro and Macbook Pro issues aren't related (they use different sound chipsets). I originally reported the issue to the ALSA developer list, and received a patch. A Mac Pro driver fix is included in ALSA 1.0.14rc2 (but this version requires a "model=macpro" module argument). 1.0.14rc3 detects the Mac Pro (and sets the mixer channels correctly) out-of-the-box. I have not verified that the changes pushed towards Linus and the kernel mailing list actually include the Mac Pro fix, but the correct description is present in the changes. -- Sound not working well on Apple Mac Pro https://launchpad.net/bugs/89980 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Daniel - Sorry to be a bit dense and ask a follow up question. I asked if Feisty was going to ship without fixing the bug. You said yes, the fix is in ubuntu.git. Does that mean that the bug is fixed and awaiting release with Feisty? Or does that mean we need to manually patch our kernels/alsa somehow and Feisty is shipping without the bug fix?

There are several revisions, each with different pin configurations. It's not finalised upstream in ALSA, so I've held off backporting all the fixes.

Are you sure that sound issues are fixed already for the Apple MacPro? I'm just running 2.6.20-12-generic, but without proper sound output. Seems the needed patched aren't applied, yet. This maybe of interest: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/14/43 Especially the Line: [ALSA] hda-codec (realtek): add support for MacPro series workstations Would be great if this could get into the feisty kernel before release.
