i don't understand what's going on really,i installed all of the alsa stuff fine, drivers, libs, utils.

then when it came to doing modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

i get this error
WARNING: Error inserting snd-mpu401-uart (/lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko.gz): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd-mpu401-uart (/lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko.gz): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

FATAL: Error running install command for snd-intel8x0

so i thought it was possible i was doing something wrong, so i ran alsaconf, in a terminal while i was running KDE. when i did that it gave it the same error when i chose my soundcard and it tried to initalize, it gave the same error.

so i thought kde was the problem, i logged out of kde and ran alsaconf again, but when i chose my soundcard it said "is it ok to try and initialize snd-*** instead of snd-intel8x0

it runs fine if i do that but there's no sound cause that's obviously a null card.

do any of you have any idea what could be wrong?

Maybe this could help:

Try typing "dmesg" in a console and searching the output for more details about the error (for best results, use dmesg right after attempting to load the modules; the details will be right at the bottom of the output).

here's the output, still doesn't make any sense to me, it seems it has some symbol disagreement thing o.O

bump

I continue to have problems with the snd-intel8x0.o driver on Redhat also. The first time I tried it on Mandrake, it seemed to be fine... I have no idea..

it just worked perfectly fine?

i wish i could be so lucky =( linux hates our soundcards lol

i thought about recompiling my kernel to support my soundcard, but under the alsa drivers section, there isn't my card, so this is really frustrating

EDIT: nevermind about that i just looked past it accidently, i think support for it was automatically compiled into it though...

i just went through a nightmare cause i messed with my kernel, but i got everything working fine now, my computer is using the alsa drivers, but alsamix won't start, i can't insert the drivers still.

it says it's using alsa drivers and they're making crackling sounds constantly and it's driving me insane, i can't seem to switch back to OSS either.

any idea what's wrong?
