[LIVE] How to update Alsa in Live 9.04 ?

[rudi123]

I tried to update alsa on Live 9.04 to .19 using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install wget buid-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-1.0.19
./configure
make
sudo make install

but there is no "make" command in Live.

Since I'm not a linux expert, can someone please tell me how to do this (step-by-step) ?

thx

build-essential *should* have installed automake for you. Try installing it explicitly.

[FreddyKrueger]

in the third line of your code you have : "sudo apt-get install wget buid-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`"... it's wrong... it should be "sudo apt-get install wget build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`"... it's build-essential and not buid-essential.
This will install what you need.....

I know this is an old thread, but I this is what I followed so my question pertains to it. I'm trying to update to Alsa .21. I followed these steps and replaced .19 with .21 wherever it was called for and I made sure to correct the typo that was pointed out in the OP. I'm a Linux retard, but everything seems to go fine except that when I run #alsamixer, it still shows v.18. Why would that be?

I'm am running Live 9.04.1

I have the same problem. Using Live CD from SD card doesnt appear to save the changes?

I should note that I am running my Live installed on a hard drive.

Check version of used driver:

cat /proc/asound/version


sudo apt-get -y install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext xmlto

sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-`uname -r`



cd ~

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.20.tar.bz2

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.20.tar.bz2

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.20.tar.bz2



sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa

cd /usr/src/alsa

sudo cp ~/alsa* .



sudo tar xjf alsa-driver*

sudo tar xjf alsa-lib*

sudo tar xjf alsa-utils*



cd alsa-driver*

sudo ./configure

sudo make

sudo make install



cd ../alsa-lib*

sudo ./configure

sudo make

sudo make install



cd ../alsa-utils*

sudo ./configure

sudo make

sudo make install



rm -f ~/alsa-driver*

rm -f ~/alsa-lib*

rm -f ~/alsa-utils*



restart PC

check used version: sudo cat /proc/asound/version
must be Alsa 1.0.20



sudo alsamixer , go right to iec958 and at all press(unmute) to activate digital outputs



Then in Control centrum - sound, change Autodetect to "HDA NVidia ALC1200 Digital (ALSA). Mixer change to "HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer), PCM.

This working on my mainboard Asus M3N78-EM

When I run

cat /proc/asound/version


it returns "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21." whihc is what I installed, but when I run

sudo alsamixer

It still says v1.0.18 at the top of the window. Why is that? Which version is being used by XBMC?

[voyager2]

Same over here.

Anybody?
