alsa-drivers-1.0.10 partially broken on emu10k1 and audigy based cards

[Christian Roessner]

Hi,

I am a former Gentoo user and therefor I got some experiences with alsa 1.0.10. I had to disable this version, because the sound was broken for my TV card based on saa7134 kernel module.

With 1.0.10 you only get the left channel working. I use digital 5.1 with my Soundblaster 5.1.

My friend also has a Gentoo box and he also noticed problems with alsa 1.0.10 and his audigy card.

If searching around in Ubuntu forum, you will find people having trouble with this version.

Alsa-drivers version 1.0.11 fixes all this! Unfortunatley I do not know how to replace this version, because Ubuntu seems to use a patched kernel with alsa 1.0.10. I do not have the knowledge of playing around with debuild, etc., yet.

If creating a new version of the kernel, please use a new version of alsa.

1.0.11 should not break any existing dependencies to other packages.

Thanks in advance

Christian

I have taken some packages from Debian testing. Alsa 1.0.11 is installed now and as expected, the problems are fixed now.

If you need some packages:

I forgot to say: I used the *.dsc files to rebuild the packages using pbuilder.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like this was fixed, so I'm closing the bug.
