sound on asus k8v se deluxe

[FReNsJ]

The question is quite simple;
I want to have sound on my system

the soundcard on my motherboard is:
ADI AD1980, and it should be ac97 compliant.

thx in advance, you"ll see me asking some other questions, but I'm going to do it one by one

To decide what module you need, the output of lspci and/or lspci -n would be helpful...
Could you paste it here?

[linuxnerd4u]

what is lspci?

[elgrande]

lspci is a ls that does not list the contents of a directory but the devices on your pci bus (which themselves are not more that directories from the top-down point of view).

K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 with Realtek AC97 compliant sound.
I tried to install the 2.6 kernel version (I have Sarge) nVidia nForce drivers but it said, that it wants to compile a new kernel-interface but it does not find the kernel-tree (and/or source).

I apted and installed the kernel-source-2.6.8 and kernel-tree-2.6.8 packages but the error remains. What should I do?

thx.

Hi,

The Nvidia drivers can be nasty sometimes....
First, I would try to install the kernel-headers, too. This makes no sense, but it might help...
Then just try nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-dev, and some other nvidia related packages sarge offers. You can remove them after having compiled the driver.

Maybe a quicker solution:
By the way, if you are using kernel 2.6. Sound should work on your board... Since you are running 2.6.8. which I assume try updating to 2.6.11 image from debian testing.

Peace, elgrande

Thanks. I'll try these.
