Thanks to 'jronnholm'!
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.

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 and more.... I have done sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev build-essential ncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -r` and they ran without error (say nothing needs updating when I do again). lspci –v correctly reports the 82801H IHC8 audio controller. /var/log/messages tells me that snd_hda_intel has unknown symbols and 'disagrees about versions of symbols'. Many. And in the config.log produced by sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes there is an information that I suspect to be crucial: configure:4805: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/include conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:14:72: error: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/include/linux/compile.h: No such file or directory That directory contains compiler.h, but no compile.h.

Can anyone tell me: is this the root cause of my trouble? Is the missing file supposed to be part of the distro or part of the linux-headers I've installed or how is it expected to end up where it should? Thankful for any advice!

Pre-compiled drivers are now available and solved my problem: 

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules
sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
sudo reboot

Thanks to 'jronnholm'!
