I downloaded from the alsawebsite the newest alsadriver into /usr/src/alsa and unpacked the package there. 1. i downloaded the alsa-library (libs) and alsa-utils into my home-directory. 2. i did: (for years already) in /usr/src/alsa as root ./configure --with-cards=[your-card] (in my case hda-intel) make and make install. this will install your chosen driver(s) into the kernel-modules library. 3. i unzip and install alsa-lib and alsa-utils as root in my home-directory. I have found that this is not necessarily needed, e.g. alsa-drivers 1.0.18 works fine with everything else being 1.0.17 4. i reboot No need for that, just sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel and do as user $alsamixer to get the channels working. you still can do #alsaconf to look for the appropriate drivers and install these sounddrivers (with some reserve) the alsa-chaps seem to have the intention to remove this trait. alsaconf is really meant for some cases of ISA cards, and often using alsaconf on pci cards just confuses the primary issue(s).

The header files for 2.6.18-6-686, and for etchnhalf x86, and AMD64 kernels are installed. I just tried to upgrade the alsa driver on another machine (Etch again) which has kernel version 2.6.18-5 on it. As I normally do, I did this from where the 1.0.15 alsa driver was located in my /home/user directory. ./configure ran to completion with no problems, and make also ran to completion. I didn't run make install as root because the sounds are working fine on this machine, which has an audigy2 soundblaster card. Now I switch back to the other machine, which has the hda intel card, and try the same procedure with the 2.6.18-6 kernel. ./configure runs to completion. Make also runs to completion. Now I run as root make install, and it runs to completion. I reboot, and now cat /proc/asound/version shows 1.0.15 for the 2.6.18-6 kernel. I'd tried this back in October with the same kernel, but couldn't upgrade the alsa driver. The only difference today is that after make ran to completion, I su'ed to root, and ran make -n install, which I thought might give some output without actually upgrading the alsa driver. I did get some output, which didn't say much, then ran make install which upgraded the alsa driver from 1.0.12rc1 to 1.0.15. None of this explains why make is throwing in the towel when trying to upgrade the alsa driver with the etchnhalf kernels, with the following output. make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486' scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in /home/djmons/Downloads/Alsa-drivers/alsa-driver-1.0.15/acore/Makefile. Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop. And I get the same with the AMD64 kernel. It's all a bit academic, as the Musix 2.6.26 kernel, using alsa driver 1.0.16 has working sounds, and now having upgraded the alsa driver on the 2.6.18-6 kernel from 1.0.12rc1 to 1.0.15, that also has working sounds for the hda intel card on my Asus M2N-X Plus mobo. I think I'll leave the etchnhalf kernels alone for a while, on the premise that, If it works, don't mess with it, and the sounds are working with 2 kernels, but not the etchnhalf ones. Nigel.
