Hi Paul. I'm probably no help to resolving your problem, but have successfully upgraded the alsa driver on Intrepid. That was version 1.0.18a from the alsa project site, as below. http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page I did not use module assistant, but simply cd'd to the directory created when the tarball was unpacked, and ran the usual, ./configure, make, then sudo make install, and the alsa driver was upgraded with no problem. As long as the headers are installed for the kernel your building against, there should be no problems. Looking back in synaptic to see for extra needed packages that I had installed, the main one was build-essential. A couple of others are there, but may have been for something else, but the 2 packages are, debhelper, and dpkg-dev. I had a problem upgrading the alsa driver on Hardy's 2.6.24 kernel. and also the Etchnhalf 2.6.24 kernel on my Debian Etch install. Still unresolved, but as sound was working ok on both of these, and it was just an experiment to see if there were problems upgrading the alsa driver on these kernels. I havn't gotten around yet to finding out what the problem was, but make threw in the towel a lot earlier than your make. Are your sounds working ok on Jaunty. If so, were you just experimenting like me to see if the latest alsa driver would build and install ok? Which alsa driver is installed on your default install of Jaunty, as I don't have it installed yet. cat /proc/asound/version All the best.
