Operating System

We are Using the Linux Operating System, Flavour Kubuntu Feisty. We do not get viruses or spyware.

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/ download latest driver then lib then util
open a terminal sudo mkdir src cd src/ sudo mkdir alsa extract the 3 downloaded files to the above folder
cd src/alsa/
cd alsa-driver-1.0.15 sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel sudo make sudo make install
Compile and install alsa-lib
cd ../alsa-lib-1.0.15 sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install
Compile and install alsa-utils
cd ../alsa-utils-1.0.15
sudo ./configure

sudo make install

Note that you must have the curses library installed to be able to compile alsa-utils. You can install it with this command from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Add the following line to the file, replacing '3stack' with your model (see below for a complete list)
options snd-hda-intel model=acer
alsactl store
alsactl restore
sudo reboot

Make the sudo password last another 5 minutes:

sudo -v

Force the password to be forgotten at once:

sudo -k
