PRESARIO V3018CL

my laptop

Nothing to report as of 01/14/07. I still can not get it to work. All the modules seem to be loaded and I have three sliders with alsamixer, but still no sound. You can follow the progress on this Gentoo Forum Post.

I got it working with the drivers from the realtek site. Not the best but it does work. I am sure as time goes on it will get better.

Update

Intel High Definition Audio

From the gentoo mailing list looks like they have got it working.

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias /dev/mixer   snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp     snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi    snd-seq-oss
alias snd-card-0   snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-digout position_fix=1 index=0

This settings seems separate modem and the sound card and the last option determine the correct type and fixes something :)

I found that, my laptop has two jacks:
one is line-in/microphone, the other one is headphone/spdif output.
My laptop manual says, it has a spdif output: 7.1.

From alsa-project, there is a nice document: alsa doc

In the local kernel directory everybody must have this document: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
