Hi: Am still trying to set up my new Gateway Desktop for Linux. I have Sackware 10.2 with 2.4.31 and 2.6.13 kernels. Gateway says the sound card is an Integrated Realtek ALC880. I followed Realtek links and downloaded a 1.0.9 alsa driver which when I tried to use with 2.4.13 on boot gave me messages about "cant get hda codec device" failed and when I ran insmod, got error messages about unresolved symbols. I was advised to get a real alsa driver and tried to set up 1.0.12rc1. The module would not load because it could not find the driver and lists some unresolved symbols. When I boot in 2.6.13 with slackware package alsa 1.0.9 everything loads without error but the sound will not play. I did unmute.
I notice that the alsa drivers are in ..... /sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel. The sound card is not a pci device. Apparently it is integrated on the intel mother board. It is my thought that I need a driver for the integrated card and a kernel that will support this hardware. Can anyone give me some further advice or thoughts as to alsa drivers and 2.6 kernels?
