Realtek High Definition Audio compatibility (please help!)
Hi, Could someone please please help me try and get audio working on Ubuntu (or any linux distro for that matter)? I have tried and tried to no avail and I would be really grateful if someone could help me out.
Hi,
Could someone please please help me try and get audio working on Ubuntu (or any linux distro for that matter)? I have tried and tried to no avail and I would be really grateful if someone could help me out.
I have an onboard soundcard - a Realtek ALC 880 and I have found some drivers for it here:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlhd...0Audio%20CODECs
I have followed the instructions as best I could. First I installed the kernel sources for my system and then followed the instructions to the letter:
***
The source code copy from www.alsa-project.org. ver:R3.1
Linux Source Code for ALC audio codec
Installation:
This Source Code is from www.alsa-project.org.
For driver installation, please follow below steps.
Step 1. unzip source code
tar xfvj azx-021705.tar.bz2
Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)
Step 3. Complied source code
a. ./configure
b. make
c. make install
d. ./snddevices
Step 4. Edit your /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules depending on the distribution
(Please refer to the attached modules.conf)
Step 5. reboot your machine
Note: 1. The most detail information, can refer the alsa-kernel/Documenttation/ALSA-Configuration.txt in the azx-021705.tar.bz2.
2. Kernel Version must be 2.2.14 or later.
3. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native
or OSS mixer program to unmute appropriate channels.
4. If can not compile the source code, try to rename the /usr/src/linux-2.x -> /usr/src/linux.
5. The driver added to support the SPDIF functoin.
6. Suggest use alsamixer to control mixer function. you can find it in the alsa-utils-0.9.4 ( www.alsa-project.org).
7. a. You can download the alsa-lib-1.0.8 and alsa-utils-1.0.8 form the www.alsa-project.org, then unzip and install them.
b. Used "alsaconf" can autodetect which drive you need to install (step 4).
***
When I do ./configure I get this:
checking for directory with kernel source... /usr/src/linux
checking for kernel version... The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist.
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).
There is no /include/linux/version.h! What should I do?
Thank you,
Koba

Have you installed the kernel headers andsource code ?
make sure they are present in usually /usr/src/.
i have problems with this card too tho, even i can compile everything fine. i now use Simply Mepis 3.3
i had it working with Fedora core 4 FYI.
