Re: Issue with Intel HDA Sound card 82801G (laptop Medion)

[Remy Bruno <remy.bruno@trinnov.com>]

Hi,

I have the same sound card (I posted a mail a couple of days ago) and I had
indeed the same problem, but it is now partly solved. I found on my Windows XP
partition a directory with various GPL code. Among it, I found a file called
"alsa-driver-1.0.9b_25a.tar.bz2". I tried to include its hda part
(alsa-kernel/pci/hda subdir) into the 1.0.13 driver part (Yes, I know, it's
awful!...), and after some minor changes, I got it working, with sound! I'm not
sending this file here, because I thinks it is too big for being sent to the
list, but can send it to anyone who wants it. It appears to be a modified
version of the alsa-driver-1.0.9b, but without any information about this (I
don't even see the name of the changes author in the files' headers).
However, there seems to be many differences against alsa-driver-1.0.9b.

However, I get a bug (kernel oops) when I try to suspend to disk (which
otherwise works perfectly) in the snd_hda_suspend function (which is not very
surprising with the hack I did).

For now, the modem part still does not work (the proc alsa dir only shows one
codec).

FYI, on the XP partition, there is also an apprently modified kernel version,
that maybe supports the TV card (I wasn't able to test this now).

Regards,
Remy

PS: Tobin & albox (sorry, don't know your name), I will send you this now, as
you are most probably interested.
