ALSA driver for Intel ICH8 audio device: NO SOUND!?! HELP needed!
I installed 'Gutsy Gibbon' Kubuntu - first time I install Linux. The vendor of my laptop (Zepto) say my sound will work if I update the ALSA driver. So I updated to 1.0.15 following their instructions. Not a sound.
I studied the Soundtroubleshooting page at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting and the troubleshooting page at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting.
The KDE Info Center tells me I now have ALSA v1.0.15 emulation.
KMix is empty; alsamixer returns 'function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device'.
aplay –l says ’no soundcards found’ (it did find it with the 1.0.14 driver installed).
lspci –v correctly reports the 82801H IHC8 audio controller.
Then I try to load the driver module 'manually':
amanda@amanda-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg reports some 40-50 lines of errors relating to snd_hda_intel, either 'unknown symbol snd_.....' or 'disagrees about version of symbol snd_....'.
How could this happen and what can I do about it? If I don't solve this one it means I'll have to revert to Windows, and I'd really hate that.
