HOTWO Install Latest ALSA Drivers

[John Markh]

First of all, change to your home directory, as all the instructions will asume that you will work from there
cd ~
Install nessesary dependencies
su
yum install automake autoconf libtool kernel-devel ncurses-devel gettext-devel
Now, let's download the latest ALSA project files
rsync -avz --delete --exclude=.hg* rsync://alsa.alsa-project.org/hg alsa
First thing we are going to do is to compile and install the ALSA drivers
cd alsa/alsa-driver
./hgcompile
make install
Now, let's compile and install ALSA libraries
cd ../alsa-lib
./hgcompile
make install
Also, compile and install ALSA utils
cd ../alsa-utils
./hgcompile
make install
Now, let's insert the modules in to the kernel
/sbin/modprobe snd-intel8x0
/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss
/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
Last thing we want to do is to is to clean up the mess we have done :)
cd ../..
rm alsa -Rfv
That's it!
You may want to check if your sound is not mutes, as it is by default, before reporting bugs...
