dmesg doesn't show anything special. I tried recompiling with different versions of gcc

If your compiling your own kernel try compiling them in rather than making them modules. If your just compiling the modules you may have incompatable versions with your kernel.

I need modular sound for ALSA. If I set sound to modular I can't compile ALSA built in. I tried a recompile with kernel 2.6.8.1 and it didn't work. Maybe if I don't compile ALSA in it it'll work. I had it working before I tried to install winblows and it screwed up my MBR, and I had to reinstrall cause I couldn't use the rescue disk somehow. I just forgot how I actually did it. I'll try a recompile with only sound in it tomorrow

Which kernel do you have - 2.6.7 or 2.6.8.1? If the latter, the modules need to be recompiled. If you have the downloads from the alsa project,, rerun their install. Otherwise, go get them from the Alsa Project page and install them that way.

This is what I've done:
2.6.7: only modular sound, downloads from ALSA site install => error above
alsaconf did pick up my card though
uninstalled and cleaned the ALSA source files and removed the complete directory in which they were unpacked
2.6.8.1: modular sound, modular ALSA with modular card. Downloaded the files again and reran the installation => same error
alsaconf doesn't recognize my card.

So I guess tomorrow is kernel recompiling time again

Hmm. didn't work either. I think I'll try recompiling the kernel with gcc-2.95 again as that's the version I got it working with last time.

I think I'll just stay with the older kernel version since it at least works and try again if there's a new version of alsa files. I still had the same errors when compiling from source while it worked from the kernel
