In the Device Drivers ⇒ Sound card support ⇒ Advanced Linux Sound Architecture section of the kernel configuration, select the settings and drivers appropriate for your hardware. Ensure that the deprecated Device Drivers ⇒ Sound card support ⇒ Open Sound System is not selected. If necessary, recompile and install your new kernel.
Install ALSA Library by running the following commands:
./configure && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
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
To install the API documentation, run the following command as the
root user:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/alsa-lib-1.0.27.2/html && install -v -m644 doc/doxygen/html/* /usr/share/doc/alsa-1.0.27.2/html
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/main/index.php/Asoundrc.
