Re: sound card

Thanks!

Since I made some trials with the source I did the following:

1. "make uninstall" for all the alsa-* source dir I had tried to install
2. aptitude purge alsa-base alsa-utils
3. aptitude install alsa-base alsa-utils libesd-alsa0
4. "alsaconf": I got the message: "no supported PnP or PCI card found"
I think I do not have the "snd-hda-intel" driver.
FATAL: Could not open 
'/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko': No 
such file or directory

Any further suggestion?
Thanks a lot in advance, again.
