Comment 37 for bug 318942

Got speakers / sound out working with HP Mini 1030NR (9.04 UNR) by installing alsa 1.0.19, following instructions of Maruico and xapt above. This was a pretty clean install so some things were missing. I had to apt-get install the "patch" and "ncurses-dev" packages. Also, rather than install the 30megs or so of docbook stuff for alsa manpages I did "./configure --disable-nls" for the alsa-utils build. After that, "sudo alsaconf" then reboot and sound out worked.

Sound in _kind of_ works. In alsamixer I have "Input Source" set to "Front Mic", "Capture" up to full, "Digital" to 0db (half way) and "Mux" to full. I can hear myself using the gnome Sound Recorder app, but the signal is faint and there's lots of noise. Anyone have any ideas?
