Hi Kjell and thanks for your bug report!

There have been a few changes upstream since Maverick, would it be possible for you to test the latest snapshot and see if position_fix=1 is still needed on the daily snapshot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules

Thanks!

[Kjell L. (lkjell)]

You still need the position_fix=1

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Thanks. I've sent a patch to upstream and stable, so that it'll work out of the box in Natty and hopefully in Maverick as well, although that make take some time depending on the stable maintainers.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Upstream accepted patch.

Accepted linux into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Accepted linux-ec2 into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

[Kjell L. (lkjell)]

Make one for maverick and I am gladly to test it. Do not have a spare partition to install lucid on.

Verified failure on maverick with linux-ec2 package

[Steve Conklin (sconklin)]

This patch came in through an upstream stable update, and therefore will be accepted whether is actually solves this bug or not. I'm therefore setting verification tags to complete to indicate this.
