Many Sound Updates Queued For Linux 3.19 Kernel

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 11 December 2014 at 01:03 PM EST. 16 Comments

The latest pull request of interest to us for the Linux 3.19 merge window is the sound driver updates.

Takashi Iwai classifies the sound updates for Linux 3.19 as a fairly large pull request. There's ASoC improvements, new USB audio support improvements, a new OXFW Firewire audio driver for the FW970/971 chipset, support for new Intel x86 SoCs, and various other changes. The new Intel SoC support work is for some Cherry Trail and Braswell hardware.

More details on the sound subsystem updates for Linux 3.19 via this pull request.
