how to upgrade alsa (1.0.24/1.0.25)? 13.37 has 1.0.23, although it says 1.0.24 in distrowatch
. why i want to upgrade, one of them is because headphone jack doesn't work properly, sound keeps coming out from both my acer aspire 522 netbook speaker while headphone jack is plugged in. thanks.

But distrowatch is right:
Code: Select all
# sget -search alsa
alsa-lib-1.0.24.1-x86_64-1 [inst=Ja]: alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture library)
alsa-utils-1.0.24.2-x86_64-1 [inst=Ja]: alsa-utils (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture utilities)

To view the version of your installed ALSA packages run: ls -l /var/log/packages/alsa*
What sound hardware do you have? Run: /sbin/lspci | grep -i audio
You probably need some parameters to your ALSA modules to change the behaviour.

Yes, probably that's the right version. But your system is most probably not in sync with the repository (which distrowatch generally references), i.e. your system is not up-to-date.

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
I think the first is for HDMI and last is the soundcard.

i searched and tried creating alsa.conf in my /etc/modprobe.d/ containing:
Code: Select all
options snd-hda-intel model=olpc-xo-1_5,dell-vostro
in kernel.org there's list of snd-hda-intel models, so i tried model above. after reboot, my headphone works as expected and no more sound from netbook speaker while using headphone. thanks guys.
