New ALSA Drivers(1.0.14rc2) for Intel-HDA

Posted in Linux by sandaruwan on February 15th, 2007

When I installed linux on my laptop, sound card worked satisfactorily(when compared with most of my friends’ laptops) at the first try. However, compared with windows, the sound volume is very low, and the internal mic is not working.

So, today I downloaded ALSA drivers(1.0.14rc2), compiled and installed. Wow! not only the mic is working, but also the volume level is damn good. Except just compiling and installing drivers I had to append ‘options snd-hda-intel model=laptop’ line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. Then restarting the computer solved all problems with sound.
