We provide a version of the alsa-driver package (from the ALSA project) with improved support for Conexant chipsets and the HSF driver.
Before installing this package, make sure that you have the gcc and make packages installed. Additionally, the kernel headers are also needed, this is the linux-headers package in recent Debian and Ubuntu releases, kernel-devel in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, kernel-source in Mandriva and SuSE.
Installing this package can take a significant amout of time, from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the machine used. If you are using a graphical package management program, it is possible that the progress bar will remain stuck at a low percentage while installing because of that, simply let it run.
If you did manually install alsa-driver with the patch above, a reboot of the machine will also be required before installing the HSF driver.
