Bug 254056 – kernel 2.6.28, alsa-driver 1.0.18a, hda-intel, audio broken

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Maurizio Rottin 2009-01-07 11:25:58 UTC]

i compiled kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.28 and all alsa-driver-1.0.18* up to 1.0.18a.

Alsa does not work:

i've seen big changes in alsa changelog about my soundcard, then maybe it's a mainstream problem.

As i read in the official guide "The Gentoo maintainers decided to discontinue support for the alsa-driver package", then i've decided to discontinue it too!
Than i'm going to compile the in-kernel module, to use them and to close this bug report.
