Re: sound on dell inspiron 5100, Intel 82801DB AC'97 Audio

[markus uhlmann <markus.uhlmann@ciemat.es>]

the sound is working.

the steps i took are the following:

. use 2.4.18 kernel with sound enabled, but no compiled-in cards.

. install _not_ debian-'sarge'-provided alsa packages, but the latest
  stable versions from www.alsa-project.org (i.e. version 0.9.2),
  including 'alsa-drivers', 'alsa-lib', 'alsa-utils'. installation
  follows the advice in the matrix
  'http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/' -> click on 'intel i810
  details'. 

. that's all.

open issues: the playback is sputtery, but at least the speed seems
             okay. 

cheers,

markus
