[SOLVED] alsa 1.0.23

Hello,
First time arch user, and so far its going pretty well. Currently I have no sound, but am looking to upgrade ALSA to version 1.0.23 which came out on 4/16/2010. I am trying to use pacman, but it only finds 1.0.22-2. Do I need to wait a bit before the repositories are updated? Or am I looking in the wrong spot? I'm aware I can compile it from source, but I'm not very comfortable with doing this yet.

Thanks

Wait until the repo is updated. Do pacman -Syu everyday...

Why if you don't have sound wants to wait for the new version?
You check alsamixer is not muted. Are you check the wiki doc about alsa?

You can either wait for the developer to have time to update the package, or look into ABS on the wiki and update it yourself.

Re: [SOLVED] alsa 1.0.23

Ok, l have a Xonar DS in the mail, which alsa 1.0.23 adds support for. I have looked at ABS, but wasn't sure what to do about changing the PKGBUILD to reflect that I wanted version 1.0.23. Do I simply just change the version number, or is there more to it than that? The wiki doesnt really go into explaining that part.

the wiki im looking at is:

Try upping the pkgver and see if it compiles. If it doesn't you need to do some problem-solving based on the errors generated.

How did you get it working?

I have exactly the same problem, even with the same soundcard (Asus Xonar DS)!
