Hi Linux gurus,

I've recently migrated pretty much everything I do into linux, the only thing that I cannot do- which is keeping me from deleting my windows xp- is run a 24 bit sound card in linux. This is a studio-quality soundcard that I use to playback and record on... any ideas?

I'm running MDK9.1 / AMD Barton 2800+ / 1GB Dual Channel Registered DDR400 RAM

So I actually can't figure out how to compile it or whatever... the instructions are *NOT* how you do it... they miss a few steps that I have done before, but not experienced enough to remmeber... however if someone could tell me how to undo the steps that i have done in the process of compiling the drivers, etc. that would be good so I can start over!

Well it looks like this post has been dead forever plus a day, so maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but anyway...

Running Ubuntu 5.10, using Echo Mia audio card, trying to get the ALSA module installed...

When I "./configure --with-cards=mia" in the alsa-driver source folder it says it's not a supported card:

checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unsupported soundcard mia


When I do the config with no options, it exits okay, but then I try to "make" and get:

......
make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/usr/src/alsa08/alsa-driver-1.0.8 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux'
make: *** [compile] Error 2

I've tried a half a million things, including following the docs at the ALSA site to the letter, and I'm stumped! Help! Please!

Thanks!

I've made a page at UbuntuHelp for resolving this issue
