Hello. I installed Debian Squezze on my dell studio but sound is not working. Can anyone help me??.

With lspci command the information about the sound card is this:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05)

I used Ubuntu in this laptop and sound works without a problem.

go to the alsa section here and see what happens if you follow the steps: http://kaslit.com/blog.php?id=66

let us know what happens!

I download the alsa driver and unzip the package in /usr/src/alsa. But when I try to compiled ( ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install) i have this error:

checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.24.47.gfa552.1132.g89a70/alsa-kernel
checking for directory with kernel source... Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).
make all-deps
make[1]: se ingresa al directorio `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.24.47.gfa552.1132.g89a70'
make[1]: No se hace nada para `all-deps'.
make[1]: se sale del directorio `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.24.47.gfa552.1132.g89a70'

Please, run the configure script as first...

if [ -L /include/sound ]; then \
rm -f /include/sound; \
ln -sf /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.24.47.gfa552.1132.g89a70/include/sound /include/sound; \
else \
rm -rf /include/sound; \
install -d -m 755 -g root -o root /include/sound; \
for f in include/sound/*.h; do \
install -m 644 -g root -o root $f /include/sound; \
done \
fi
install: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre «include/sound/*.h»: No existe el fichero o el directorio
make: *** [install-headers] Error 1

How about running, as root;
and posting the entire results here. I think this may be a repository problem. This will tell us if it is or if, quite possible, I am way off base.

I run this as root and that was the error message.
