What's the EXACT sound card you have?

The steps above are correct. You can if you want, run "make mrproper",
but...what that will do is make your source tree like the way it was (delete
*.o, stale libs, etc...)when it came out of the package (provided you have
not manually modified the source. The other two default alternatives to
"make menuconfig" are: "make xconfig" and "make config" (you have to be in X
to do make xconfig).

If your sound card is SoundBlaster compatible, then use those drivers
temporarly. Another alternative to this to use
OSS-Lite. It's sort of a sound emulation, but...it's really easy to use.

basically, "make mrproper" does the same thing. :)

Yes...When you cannot like the object files and the libs you cannot continue
(like it seems you have described)
