Comment 58 for bug 996245

And I can also confirm that the realtek driver is not compilable with the given kernel nor does it do the system any good as stated in #55 if you change the .c files to remove outdated function calls like fget_light or __list_for_each.

The latest ALSA driver which I tried to obtain as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS

Was not able to be build properly for utopic and the one for Ubuntu 13.10, which was the first new one that has not failed building, did not work either.
