In the “Sound” section of the kernel configuration, edit Advanced Linux Sound Architecture options to match your audio hardware and disable deprecated Open Sound System. Recompile and install your new kernel.
Install ALSA Library by running the following commands:
./configure --enable-static && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you have Doxygen installed and you wish to build the library API documentation, run the following commands from the top-level directory of the source tree:
make doc
Now, as the root user:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/alsa/doc/html && install -v -m644 doc/doxygen/html/* /usr/share/alsa/doc/html
--enable-static: This switch is used to enable building the static library as some programs link against it.
~/.asoundrc, /etc/asound.conf, /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, and /usr/share/alsa/{cards,pcm}/*.conf
The default alsa.conf is adequate for most installations. For extra functionality and/or advanced control of your sound device, you may need to create additional configuration files. For information on the available configuration parameters, visit http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php.
