Special online repositories for new ALSA versions?

[Guest]

Hi there,

I am not that into Linux, so for installations related to the system, I prefer to use those GUI supported package managers (like Synaptic...).

Now, when I first insalled Skype, everything was fine. After some time passed, my voice recorded there was low pitched and distorted in output.

Now, I googled for it and found that some ther people had the same problem and solved it by updating their ALSA drivers. I have got the version 1.0.20.
I found that there are newer versions but my package managers do not show me them since they are not in the default online repositories.

Sure, I could download the new version from the ALSA webpage and install it by hand, but i am always a little bit ware doing that because from time to time strange things happen when I do this (something I do wrong). So, I wondered, i there are any special online repositories that include the new ALSA versions, so I could add them to my sources.

Thanks in advance,

urrghs

You're using an old version of Kubuntu, right? Because the current Lucid already has Alsa 1.0.22 in the Main repositories, while Maverick (due in a month) already has 1.0.23:

You can look through these repositories for an updated Alsa version for your version of Kubuntu:

Hi,

thank you very much; this was exactly what I was looking for.
Although my sound problem was not solved by that....still, that is another thing.

Thx
