ALSA driver with improved HSF driver support

[Log in]

We provide a version of the alsa-driver package (from the ALSA project) with improved support for the HSF driver. This should be installed only if you have a HDA modem and the built-in ALSA HDA modules of the HSF driver either doesn't work or have a negative impact on your HDA sound device. It should be used with version 7.68.00.07 or later of the driver.

Before installing this package, make sure that you have the gcc and make packages installed. Additionally, the kernel headers are also needed, this is the linux-headers package in recent Debian and Ubuntu releases, kernel-devel in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, kernel-source in Mandriva and SuSE.

RPM alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.17.5-1.noarch.rpm
(use on RPM-based systems)
DEB alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.17.5-1_all.deb

Source RPM alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.17.5-1.src.rpm

Patch alsa-driver-1.0.15-1.patch
alsa-driver-1.0.16-2.patch

If you did manually install alsa-driver with the patch above, a reboot of the machine will also be required before installing the HSF driver.

 

User comment:

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for supporting Linux. The modem in my Compaq Presario 2135US, using the M5457 controller, now works great. The installation was a very pleasant experience (using the rpm for RH9.0). Thank you again. Best regards,

Serban Popescu
