No volume control element found

Seems like I just answered a similar question to this. Oh, wait. I did.

Well, for the sake of repetitiveness, what you need is the latest version of alsa, either 1.0.11 or 1.0.12rc2 (if you don't mind a little testing). Personally, I'd get 1.0.12rc2 as I know of some bugs in 1.0.11 final.

This particular board is in the drivers and will give you full 5.1 surround along with good recording and headphone capabilities on the front panel. The line-in and mic-in on the back can be retasked to rear and center/LFE channels using alsamixer or gnome-volume-control (or any other mixer that interfaces with alsa).

Go to http://alsa-project.org and download the latest driver, lib, and utils. Build and install each in that order (each relies on the previous package).

Good luck.

Thanks a lot GrueMaster for ur prompt reply

Got latest version of alsa driver
when building got the following error message

The file /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/source/include/linux/version.h does not exist.
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 /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/source).


where to find the source file?

You will need to install the kernel-smp-devel package or kernel-source package (not sure which one it is for FC4). It should be with the distribution cds. Use your program manager.

Excuse me! Can you show me step by step how to install audio of D101GGC board. I have downloaded ALSA but i don't know what to do because I have started in to learn Linux.
Thank a lot!
