I realise this is no life and death problem, and i would imagine a low priority request, but i would really appreciate some info on if it is still being maintained / developed. I am currently running 2.4.18 , but have recently downloaded and tried the 2.5.5 release, just as a taster, to see if the ALSA integration had fixed my problem, no such luck :-( I have also been watching the changelogs and have downloaded any kernel/patch release that even mentions the i810 :-) ( I dont run a development kernel, but I have tried them just as a taster :-) ) I dont know very much about the workings of sound cards, but the problem is that when playing anything a total crackling in the background that makes the audio almost unusable...a real pity. >>From reading the comments at the top of the i810_audio.c code, I think the authors have had some difficulty, i guess the hardware is awkward to write for or something :-) I was so looking forward to the 2.5.5 ALSA release, but as it didnt fix my problem, does anyone know if there are plans to? or am i better off abandoning all hope and getting a new card? Thanks for any help guys! and keep up the excellent, excellent work your all doing! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
