At this point you may want to try the patch that you found on the |
| 5 |
forums. Unfortunately it doesn't apply cleanly against 1.0.13, and |
| 6 |
the original patch author didn't release it under any defined |
| 7 |
licensing terms, so it isn't legal for me to update it for 1.0.13 and |
| 8 |
publish it. So you will either have to downgrade to 1.0.11 and use |
| 9 |
his patch as-is, or pester him for an update to .13, or even better |
| 10 |
re-publish his patch under the GPL like the rest of alsa. |

|
| 12 |
If you want to use the patch as-is, copy and save it to a file, such |
| 13 |
as conexant.patch. Then download alsa-driver-1.0.11.tar.bz2 from [1], |
| 14 |
and put it in the same directory as the patch. Then run (as root): |

This should work, but if you have problems (like crashes, devices not |
| 29 |
being found, etc), you might need to downgrade alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, |
| 30 |
alsa-firmware, alsa-headers, alsa-tools, and alsa-utils to version |
| 31 |
1.0.11 as well with /etc/portage/package.mask. |
