Public bug reported: i hope this is the right place to file a bug so it gets fixed in edgy final.
A whole lot of Acer Laptops with the Realtek ALC883 chip only got sound working very recently, after somebody submitted a patch to the ALSA project (which is integrated into ALSA-driver versions 1.0.13rc1 upwards). here's the patch: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa- bug/view.php?id=2378 i have been informed that edgy uses alsa-driver 1.0.12rc1, which doesn't contain that fix yet -- will it be backported? cheers ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- No sound on Acer laptops w/ Realtek ALC883 chipset https://launchpad.net/bugs/63971 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
