Comment 96 for bug 1551041

I understand that tiwai's first fix only removes the symptoms, not the original problem. I thought that I can live with that.

The problem is that I do not understand how to implement tiwai's second fix, and he says that he doesn't know how to do it in Ubuntu. Now you say I have to do it at the stable ubuntu kernel.

I'm lost. I do not undertand the second fix (what it is doing). I do not understand how to apply it and in what system to apply it.

1. Which test system should I install in order to have the stable ubuntu kernel/driver? Which version of Ubuntu, which kernel ... ?

2. Which extra repositories, PPAs, and program packages should I activate/install?

3. Which method should I use to compile it? Should I use a method referred to in comment #58?

4. And how can I find out if it works or not? What should I look for?
