As of right now, the patch is going through many revisions so that they can clean it up for its addition to the next version of ALSA.

You can help test this or watch its progress by signing up to the alsa-devel mailing list.

maybe i misunderstood.. I saw portage in this part:

Code:

patch -p1 < /usr/local/portage/media-sound/alsa-driver-conexant/files/alsa-driver-conexant-1.0.11-conexant.patch

I will re-read the directions again..

here's what i get with the first line of trying to patch:

Code:

mykrob@infected-laptop ~/Downloads/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.13 > patch -p1 < driver-wrapper.patch
patching file pci/hda/patch_conexant.c
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** malformed patch at line 4:

please advise.

thanks,

i got the driver installed, i had to skip the driver-wrapper patch, but the conexant patch worked.. I got no errors on compiling and installing.

Not sure if its just perception or what, but volume seems louder. I am not able to record, though.. I have my Boss GT8 effects processor hooked into the mic port on the laptop, and capture volume turned up to max using alsamixer, but i cannot get an audible (or visible by meter) signal into the laptop. I have headphones hooked to the GT8 as well, and am most definitely getting sound..

What do i need to do to be able to record?

thanks,

Join my Conexant Testers mailing list.

Email me your system information. I need to know the make and model of your system (i.e. HP DV2000T), and the output from "lspci -s 0:1b -vn" so I can add it to the driver. Also email me the output of "cat/proc/asound/card0/codec#0" (I only need this once to verify you have the same chip setup).

I will be sending out another test patch later today. I'm still gathering input from other testers, but have an idea on wat needs to be fixed. I won't be monitoring this thread nearly as much as my email from testers, and I won't be posting patches here, so email me. tdavis AT dsl-only.net.

I posted to the mailing list, i think.. It hasnt shown up on the page yet... I did send you the requested information by email, though.
