Hello again,

New user currently running gNewSense 2.3 (kernel 2.6.24-32) on a "p8z77-V Le Plus" Motherboard. It has sound integrated; uses "RealtekĀ® ALC889 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC" (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LE_PLUS/#specifications). I know it works because windows has no issues with it (dual-boot). On the Realtek site, the Linux driver seems to need at least the alsa 1.0.24 version (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2 <http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2>).

When running ./install everything seems fine. I make it to the "Alsa configurator version 1.0.27.1" GUI that states: "No supported PnP or PCI card found". Sound is integrated so not sure if that is an error. In any case after Reboot still no sound.

Tried to do this the manual way.
Steps below (based on other peoples' posts):

  sudo -s
  wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.25.tar.bz2
  tar xjvf alsa-driver-1.0.25.tar.bz2
  cd alsa-driver-1.0.25
  ./configure --with-cards='hda-intel'
  make
  make install
  cd ..
  rm alsa-driver-1.0.25.tar.bz2
  apt-get install libncursesw5-dev gettext xmlto
  ln -s libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/libpanelw.so
  ln -s libformw.so.5 /usr/lib/libformw.so
  ln -s libmenuw.so.5 /usr/lib/libmenuw.so
  ln -s libncursesw.so.5 /lib/libncursesw.so
  wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2
  wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2
  tar xjvf alsa-lib-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2
  tar xjvf alsa-utils-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2
  cd alsa-lib-1.0.27.1
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  cd ../alsa-utils-1.0.27.1
  ls -lt /usr/lib/* | head
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  cd ..
  rm alsa-lib-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2
  rm alsa-utils-1.0.27.1.tar.bz2
  reboot


No errors that I can see. No sound after I reboot.
Looking at the "Synaptic Package Manager" I still see the alsa-base module with the old version (1.0.16 installed by gNewSense installation).

Since the install seemed to work, shouldn't at least that version have updated? Same thing happens for the alsa-lib and alsa-util, they keep their original version numbers.

There is an audio device return by "lspci -v".

  00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Unknown device 1e20 (rev 04)
      Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 841a
      Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 14
      Memory at f7310000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
      Capabilities: <access denied>


Any ideas what else I can try to get Sound working?
thanks in advance
 Sam
