Hi,

I have installed Ubuntu Netbook eee and like all the other positive reviews it is working really well out of the box. Applying a few tweaks listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne has almost everything working, and thanks to the eee customisations, its fast and boots up quicker than stock ubuntu.

The last thing i really care about and want to get working is sound AND mic after resume. The link above to the wiki has been updated to say that with 1.0.18RC3 this is now working. The problem is the method in the wiki only updates to 1.0.16.d

Does anyone know how i can use the method described there to get updated ALSA? does anyone know where i can get debs witih updated ALSA?

Worst case I will download the source from alsa and compile. I assume I need alsa-lib and alsa-driver? do i need utils as well?

Thanks,

Im really looking forward to getting this working. then i will be happy using this fulltime.

Code: 
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes&&make&&make install

to compile the driver.

At the minimum. You will also need alsa-oss for oss emulation and alsa-plugins for extra functionality.

You should compile and install it. Utils includes cli utilities such as mixer, configurator, pcm player, controller (for setting and restoring defaults), etc,
 
OK. thanks. Do you think i need to configure alsa-lib and alsa-utls with --prefix=/usr?

If so..its ok to overwrite whats already in there?

ALSA is kind of an odd duck- it already defaults to installing in /usr instead of /usr/local.

Yes.
