Hello ,
I need to compile manually Alsa Driver because I made a mistake with my previous audio driver. My sound card is integrated into the mother board Asus P5K-SE. Following the product description coming from Asus, the chipset is :
Realtek ALC 883 8 -Channel High Definition Audio CODEC Coaxial / Optical S/PDIF out ports at back I/O ASUS Noise Filter Support Jack-Sensing, Enumeration, Multi-streaming
My Linux installation is Kubuntu 11.04, with kernel 2.6.38-8-generic.
lspci gives the following : ---------------------------
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) .
hwinfo returns : ----------------
hal.1: read hal dataprocess 2298: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file dbus-errors.c
line 280. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. libhal.c 3483 : Error unsubscribing to signals, error=The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files 14: PCI 1b.0: 0403 Audio device [Created at pci.318] Unique ID: u1Nb.c9J1KXzTGCE SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:1b.0 Hardware Class: sound Model: "Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x293e "82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller" SubVendor: pci 0x1043 "ASUSTeK Computer Inc."

So now, the following lines are the one used to compile manually latest Alsa Drivers : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir src cd src mkdir alsa cd alsa sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/a … 24.tar.bz2 tar xvjf alsa-driver-1.0.24.tar.bz2 cd alsa-driver-1.0.24 sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards="hda-intel" --with-oss=yes sudo make sudo make install
And just before ending the sudo make command, I have the following error : --------------------------------------------------------------------------
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic SUBDIRS=/home/thomas/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.24 CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules make[1]: entrant dans le répertoire « /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic » Makefile:556: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic/arch//Makefile: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type make[1]: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic/arch//Makefile ». Arrêt. make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic » make: *** [compile] Erreur 2
And I get the same error when using sudo ./alsa-compile.sh --driver --kmodules (with the script downloaded from Alsa servers). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/alsa-compile-script/alsa-driver-1.0.24.13.g953fe.286.ge539e CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic' Makefile:556: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic/arch//Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic/arch//Makefile'.

Compilation of alsa-driver failed. Report this problem to the mailing list.
So, at this time, I'm really down in the mouth. I'm totally unable to correct the problem I created by installing drivers from realtek web site.
Could you help me please in trying to compile Alsa ?
Thank you very much, Cheers,
Thomas.
