Comment 17 for bug 1296373

Same problem for me on my ibook G4

Id: PowerBook6,5

Sound Hardware: via hex dump: 0x26 = so converted device id: 38

Under OSX 10.5.8 it's detected as "Texas Instruments, TAS 3004, 1x Input (internal mic), 2xoutputs (1xspeakers, 1x headphone jack)"

-------------------
dmesg:
 3.773496] i2c i2c-3: i2c-powermac: modalias failure on /uni-n@f8000000/i2c@f8001000/cereal@1c0
-------------------

So is this simply a case of device id's missing and thus not all being listed/ detected or is it something else?

If it is, why is it not yet fixed if patches do already exist? No offence really just trying to understand this situation.

I've read they (community maintainers) would like to continue supporting PPC (eg. blog post about looking for more ppc testers) but if something like that is supposedly an easy fix even for non ppc users, why isn't it in yet?

What would it take to get this in, I believe the correct expression would be "upstream"!?

thx in advance
