Hardware issues
Sound problems:
wget http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb.zip
unzip alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb.zip
gdebi-gtk alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb-Install the package and reboot. Now speakers should mute when headphones are connected, HDMI and microphones (internal & external) should be working. Open alsamixer and unmute S/PDIF (you can do that pressing “m”). Choose HDMI output from the pulseaudio volume applet (hardware tab) when needed.

I tried the suspend solution, and this works… a couple of times. After that, I get my screensaver for a second until everything freezes. Do you have any idea what the problem could be and how I might fix this?
I will try it on my computer and I will let you know ASAP.
Hi Robert,
I had bug in my post formating. It should be fixed now. Could you please try follow this guide again and let me now if is working now?
Thanks
Yes, everything works perfectly now. Thank you so much!
Hello Vladislav!
I’ve tried to install alsa-driver-linuxant and it warn about error 2 and now i have no sound.
Could you suggest what to do now?
Hi Igor,
I had the same issue when I try install alsa-driver-linuxant to Ubuntu 10.10
Solution was simple:
- Run synaptics package manager
- uninstall alsa-driver-linuxant
- to a search filed write “kernel”
- sort packages by install status
- select all installed packages in list
- mark selected package to reinstall
- restart computer
It helped me on Ubuntu 10.10, I hope that help you too.
Regards,
Vlada
Hi
Thank you so much for the skype webcam fix, work perfect on Asus.

The sound patch above seems to cause difficulties on my 64bit 10.10 Ubuntu install. Alsa-linuxant seems to do something that messed up the kernel and threw errors on apt-get updates.
If, like me, you don’t like what the alsa-linuxant ‘fix’ does to the current Linux kernel, here is how you get back with minimum (maybe no) damage:
What I discovered is that if you use Synaptic to remove alsa-linuxant completely and then reinstall all your linux kernel modules, things go back to the before alsa-linuxant state. That doesn’t help your device, in my case speakers, but at least the errors go away. Maybe a future kernel will fix things.
Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately I had no success with the first part (sound) due to the following errors:
/usr/lib/alsa-driver-linuxant/acore/pcm_native.c: In function ‘snd_pcm_hw_params’:
/usr/lib/alsa-driver-linuxant/acore/pcm_native.c:489: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pm_qos_remove_requirement’
/usr/lib/alsa-driver-linuxant/acore/pcm_native.c:492: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pm_qos_add_requirement’
Hi Vladislav.
Had a problem in Skype (video upside down), on Linux Mint 9 (Isadora)32 bit.
I followed your Skype solution.
With a small modification in /usr/bin/skype
In stead of :
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real
I changed to :
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real
Now it works perfect.
Thanks a lot.
Villy.
Hi! I’m using a K52J laptop, but I have very similar problems. Mostly with the headphones. I’m gonna try your solutions. I’d be very happy and thankful if they worked.

Yay! Itworked for me! Now headphones work, calculator button works too
MANY THANKS! You saved my butt
Hello! I have strange problem with sound in my Debian 6 machine, when trying to install Linuxant driver.
I get error:
root@bbspqn-k52f:/home/qn/Desktop# dpkg -i alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.1_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package alsa-driver-linuxant.

Errors were encountered while processing:
alsa-driver-linuxant
Then, I’ve checked log file, and looks like problem is:
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it.

I’ve tried to do make oldconfig && make prepare in kernel source, but got another error:

What can I do? I have Alsa and kernel sources installed both
I have tryed advices for skype ( both of them ) but no luck. Does your machines use P6100 or i3 processor ? What else might I do?
Thank you
