- disclaimer: these are raw notes i've gathered from other ppl who have installed alsa
- cvs; i have not done it myself;
- mercurial svn app is also called hg; mercurial app can be installed using your package manager
- automake package must be installed; remove alsa packages before installing hg
- automake package may need upgrading if you can not 'make install' alsa-lib
- automake must be upgraded if you get compile errors for alsa-lib or alsa-utils compile
- install kernel source and kernel headers for your kernel; uname -r for kernel version
- for ubuntu: apt-get install build-essential installs kernel sources
- for ubuntu: you may need to install libconfig
- ubuntu build alsa sources:
- sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` libncurses5-dev automake autoconf
- use 'hg clone' command to download the alsa cvs source files
- at http://alsa-project.org/download.php at the hg repository link on this page;
- http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/ ;read the entire page too
- use the "hg clone" command to download alsa-drivers, alsa-kernel, alsa-lib, alsa-utils
- hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver
- hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-lib alsa-lib
- hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-utils alsa-utils
- alsa driver needs alsa kernel to compile: 'hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel alsa-kernel'
- use ./hgcompile on all the alsa sources and not ./configure and make
- then as root: make install after the ./hgcompile on each sources = alsa drivers,lib and utils
- hg info: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/sound/alsa.xml
- all sound apps should already be closed then restart alsa or reboot
- gentoo: /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
- ubuntu restart alsa: reboot
- cat /process/asound/version #if the version is not the new version installed then
- cat /proc/asound/modules #make a note of which snd- module you use then
- modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep ^snd |awk '{print $1}') # to remove all sound modules then
- modprobe {which snd- module you use}; cat /process/asound/version # to see if new version now
- next, as root: alsamixer -V all
- unmute and set volumes on all needed controls in alsamixer
- close alsamixer and as root: alsactl store #this command stores the current alsamixer settings
- as root: speaker-test #should hear pink noise in left/right front speakers
- as root: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
- visit freenode #alsa to keep us updated on progress and problems
