Help with Realtek ALC650 sound
Hi,
I upgraded my m/b to an Epox 8K5A2 with the Via KT333 chipset but
including the VT8235 Southbridge (normally part of the KT400) with a
RealTek ALC650 Codec (AC97).
Realtek's website includes driver source for the Alsa-0.9.0rc5
(alcsound.tar.bz2). I'm running the 2.4.20-k7 kernel. Initially I
downloaded the deb source and then the source from kernel.org.
Both times I placed the kernel source in /usr/local/src and left the
driver in ~/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5.
When I attempt to compile (./configure) it I get an error "The file
/usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/version.h does not exist" -
nor does it. There is a version.h in
~/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5/alsa-kernel/include
At one time I thought of building my own kernel and find
/usr/include/linux contains version.h showing a #define UTS_RELEASE
"2.4.19" - I'm not clear on what to do about that. I did install the
kernel-package.
From comments I have seen elsewhere alsa-modules-2.4.20 contains
support for the ALC650. Whilst it is not available as a deb, is this
available somewhere else?
Is any AC97 compliant codec covered by any AC97 driver?
I don't make much use of sound but would like to get it working.
Any suggestions as how best to proceed would be very welcome.
Tim
