ALSA installation. Can't load modules into the kernel


I am stucked at the modprobe part. The error message is as below:

[root@localhost /]# /sbin/modprobe snd-intel8x0
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: unresolved symbol schedule_work
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed

Can anyone teach me how to solve this problem?
Thanks. =)

There is a howto in ALSA webpage, it worked for me

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...odule=intel8x0

Although, i had to repeat the ./configure, make, make install a couple of times, but at last, a made it.

Hope it helps

I still receive the same old error. Should I keep on compiling?
I am very new to Linux. I just follow blindly the manual given. Can you give me a little bit more detail, based on your experience?
thanks.

any idea how to do this?

Now adjust your soundcards volume levels. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native mixer program to unmute appropriate channels, for example alsamixer from the alsa-utils package. Note that some usb-audio devices do not have internal mixer controls.

alsamixer

You can use alsamixer to raise the levels, or any other one. I use aumix, for example.
I remember that sometimes i had the same problem as you, and doing a "make distclean" on every alsa directory and doing all again (./configure, make, make install), it worked.
Another solution is to install everything as normal, and then run as root "alsaconf". Hopefully it will detect your card and do the necessary configs.
I cannot tell you anything more explicit, cause i don't know why sometimes i got the error and some others don't. It's something i cannot understand.

Hope it helps
