Nforce 430 driver doesn't install.
When I try to install the nForce 430 drivers I get an error saying it can't compile the kernel module. Is there another driver I can use and what config file do I add it to? Or How can I fix it? I have a gateway mx3417.

You have your kernel-sources installed?
But anyway, is there a specific reason why you'd want to install Nvidia's own Nforce driver? |
In hopes to get the sound working, it didn't work by default, so since I have the nForce chip. I have kernel sources installed because I can install the nvidia video drivers.

Do you have ALSA installed?
What's the output of: lspci -v | grep Audio Do you have your sound modules activated? (output of: lsmod) (or more specific: lsmod | grep snd) What's your kernel version? and lastly the distro your using. |

have you tried running:
alsaconf or amixer Perhaps with amixer, something is muted which prevents you from hearing sound. Try both commands. |

your playback channels are on 0.
Code:
Front Left: 0 [0%] Code:
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils |
Alsa-utils was at highest version. Alsaconf is not a recognized command either.
