Broken Sound in Foresight Linux 2.0.?
Sound is broken in Foresight Linux 2.0.4 and above. This is a sporadic problem…but I know that most HDA Intel Sigmatel chipsets are having this problem (like the one on my Dell D630 Latitude). It is my understanding that this is a kernel based problem…and if it is, the last 4 released kernels onto Foresight Linux 2 stable branch have not fixed sound. I was able to backpedal to the 2.6.27.5-3 kernel and had all of my sound problems automagically fix. I’m not sure what the problem is, nor how to fix it…but I do know that I’m not the only one with sound problems as of late. I also know that no one is motivated to fix things right now…as a developer in Foresight, I have heard nothing about a fix for this problem and even my own bug postings have went without comment.
