an easier way to update ALSA sound drivers?
I'm loading up a Debian Linux distro called KnoppMyth that is customized to run Mythtv. The motherboard I have needs to have the 1.0.11 ALSA drivers or else there is a horrible high-pitched squeel coming out of the speakers.
Is there a one-line operation that will update the ALSA sound drivers? I'd really like to find an easier way than what I've been doing.
I've been following the directions on the ALSA website - a tedious operation. I suspect there might be a better way.
There are 4 main files to download and unzip into their own directorys.
Then, for each of these, you must type:
./configure
make
make install
make clean
Each of the 4 directories takes about 5 minutes to work over, so you spend a total of about 20 minutes sitting there wating to type the next command.
Is there a simple command such as 'update-ALSA' that will just fetch, compile and install the drivers?
