[23:29] <timing> hey
[23:29] <sn9> ho
[23:30] <timing> at my install, audio is working in an older 2.5.24 build. but not in the versions from -7 till -16
[23:30] <sn9> why 2.5?
[23:30] <timing> 2.6.24-5 and before is where audio is working very good
[23:30] <timing> uhh sorry 2.6
[23:30] <timing> confused with the -5 I wanted to type later on
[23:31] <sn9> do you by any chance have a realtek audio chipset?
[23:31] <timing> And now i'm wondering what those -5 -7 things mean
[23:31] <timing> just a difference in compile flags?
[23:31] <timing> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[23:32] <sn9> there is a changelog in /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.24/
[23:32] <timing> thanks
[23:32] <timing> but could it be in modules as well?
[23:32] <timing> or somewhere total different?
[23:32] <sn9> yes
[23:33] <timing> but it could've changed in -6? But I don't have that version
[23:33] <sn9> the changelog is a log, so it includes older versions
[23:33] <timing> ok
[23:33] <timing> * hda_intel suspend latency: shorten codec read
[23:34] <timing> * config: Re-enable snd-hda-intel
[23:34] <timing> hmm
[23:34] <timing> o the latter one is way before -5 already
[23:34] <sn9> it's in reverse-chronological order
[23:34] <timing> uhm
[23:35] <timing> it's date \n changes?
[23:35] <timing> or changes \n date ?
[23:35] <timing> the first line is from 2.6.24-5.8
[23:36] <timing> no idea if i have 2.6.24.7 .1.2.3.4.5 or so
[23:36] <sn9> version, changes, date
[23:37] <timing> the susped latency is changed in:
[23:37] <timing> linux (2.6.24-5.8) hardy; urgency=low
[23:38] <timing> sn9: the -5 -7 -8 numbering is changing compile flags? or different patches against 2.6.24 on kernel.org ?
[23:39] <sn9> it's the changes you see in the log
[23:39] <timing> OKay so that's like a lot :-)
[23:40] <timing> So how can I help developers with fixing this?
[23:40] <timing> a guy in #alsa said he fixed this already
[23:40] <timing> but there is no bug number or no revision number for the fix he made
[23:40] <sn9> did he say what version of alsa he fixed it in?
[23:40] <timing> he said see the changelog, couldn't find it
[23:41] <timing> he is very busy
[23:41] <timing> so that's too bad
[23:41] <sn9> did he remember how long ago he fixed it?
[23:41] <timing> I can check my irclogs
[23:42] <sn9> ok
[23:42] <timing> where he said, 'okay fixed it'
[23:42] <sn9> oh, so he fixed it while you were on irc?
[23:44] <timing> yeah think so
[23:44] <timing> i grepped on crimsun on my logfiles. these are 4 lines:
[23:44] <timing> 02/Sat-23-02-#alsa.log:17:30:28< crimsun_> hmph, I think the patch_analog updates broke it
[23:44] <timing> 02/Sat-23-02-#alsa.log:17:30:34< crimsun_> it's alsa-related
[23:44] <timing> 02/Sat-23-02-#alsa.log:17:30:46< crimsun_> I'll try to update alsa-source today for it
[23:44] <timing> 02/Sat-23-02-#alsa.log:17:32:13< crimsun_> because I'm looking at the changes.
[23:44] <timing> o he is here as well!
[23:44] <timing> haha didn't know that
[23:45] <sn9> so, this was Feb 23?
[23:45] <timing> yeah
[23:46] <timing> and then I went back later:
[23:46] <timing> 03/Mon-31-03-#ubuntu+1.log:22:44:33< crimsun> timing: that's already fixed upstream.
[23:46] <timing> 03/Mon-31-03-#ubuntu+1.log:22:44:41< crimsun> (and has been for some time, I might add)
[23:46] <timing> 03/Mon-31-03-#ubuntu+1.log:22:44:52< crimsun> not in Ubuntu yet.
[23:46] <timing> then i stumbled upon him in #ubuntu+1
[23:46] <timing> He is everywhere :-)
[23:49] <timing> o this is the bug btw: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209047
[23:49] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 209047 in linux "Sound did work in 2.6.24-5 but not in 2.6.24-7 till 2.6.24-16" [Undecided,Incomplete]
[23:53] <timing> going to sleep now, bbl
