Ubuntu Multimedia :: ALSA Driver Install Failed At Building Modules
Oct 10, 2010
I am attempting to install the Linuxant ALSA driver to make my sound work properly (speakers muting when headphones plugged in). This worked on Lucid, but on Maverick the installation fails at the "building modules" stage. It directs me to a logfile, which I have reproduced here:
The package partially installed I have no sound at all. I have kernel headers and every related -dev package I can think of installed. I'm running 64-bit; could that be an issue?
I recently bought a pci multi io card to give my pc 2 parallel ports. For Linux, Moschip supply the source plus makefile and instructions. I ran make as root and got an error message make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build/: No such file or directory. So I created a folder called build in /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop but that isn't good enough as I still get an error cannot make target modules. So I assume there must be something in the build folder. So what packages do I have to install to get the correct environment to be able to build the driver? Has anyone done this and can supply the driver for 11.2?
I opted to install my Linux Fedora distribution, in a SUN VM (Virtualbox). [URL] I have 2 questions:
My current max res available to select is 1024x768. Can I run at 1920x1200? My display indicated that it is 'Unknown'. I don't know if that is in on the deal, or not...
Second question: When installing VBOXADDITIONS_3.1.2_56127, I am getting the error: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules [FAILED]
If I am displaying the log correctly, it indicates: Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop Pictures are located here, in the EVGA Linux forum: [URL] I am new to both Linux, and Fedora.
My mission statement: To run Linux using the Fedora distribution, in a VM window under Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, with the ability for scripting using Bash, with the Perl programming language installed, and use Apache Tomcat to monitor both apps, and various VM installs, on numerous Servers via the internet.
I can not work with pulse. I have removed it but have failed to install ALSA in its place because the instructions I have are out of date. Could someone point me to alsa installation instructions that work with 10.10.
what I did was searched a solution on google and i read something about install alsa-driver. So I downloaded it and tried to install it (took a very long time) and didn't installed (errormsg). When I looked a little further i saw my microphone was muted in the audio settings (DOH !)but now everytime i do an apt-get i get this error message from alsa-driver that want to setup

Whenever I try to run a windows game under Wine I get an error that depict I have no proper sound driver. I checked the wine config and there was only OSS option that I think it would not help me to get sound working. I think I have to use Alsa Instead but I don't know how to add Alsa support to wine. By the way in need DirectSound as well. should i download it myself and add it to system32 or there is a better way?
I'm using the following bash script to load a null sink and loopbacks on command.
I want to have a separate script that will unload the modules loaded in this script. However, the pacmd unload-module only accepts the index number, not the name. I have no way of knowing what the index numbers will be as they change each time, so I've got stuck writing the script.
I've installed both fluidsynth and qsynth, but get this error everytime I run qsynth. I'm trying to use my m-audio keyrig 49 just to practice playing the piano. I don't really care about having a whole DAW and whatever, I just want to play my keyboard. Maybe there is a better way than qsynth? Also, this happens:
Code: /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa restart Loading ALSA mixer settings: /usr/sbin/alsactl restore No state is present for card K49 [code]....
I don't know that it has to do with my qsynth problem or not. I just thought I'd throw it in just in case it does. Also, xmms recognizes my keyboard in the alsa preferences, where the mixer device is.
I tried to install OSS to see if it would allow my mircophone to work properly in the WinXP guest I was running in VirtualBox. I couldn't get it to install properly so now I'm left without any sound on my system. I was wondering how I could get rid of what ever files from OSS that are left and reinstall ALSA.I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

I (somewhat foolishly) decided to reformat windows XP and make my foray in the Ubuntu world with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid just last week. It has treated me fairly well so far and with the help of others posts have been able to get most everything setup to my liking. However...My Problem:I tried to install the ATI drivers for my radeon 9700 using ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.run. I tried to install it using the Ubuntu/9.04 settings, hoping that I could get it to work like that and I was quite wrong. When I restarted my computer I was started in simple graphics mode, and now I'm trying to set things right again.'ve un-installed the fglrx drivers (I think...) and now I'm stuck. Play On Linux tells me that I need to install 3D acceleration, something I know my graphics card has..
tried to install drivers for FX 5500 today, the one that Ubuntu recommended (173) and the current version (260). Both installs failed when it tried to set up python-support. Returned an exit status of "10". I don't know what that means. I could really use some help, because I just installed UT2K4, and without the driver, I can't play it. I'm running the latest release, as noted in the thread title. Dunno if it helps, but it was a clean install, because an alternate iso upgrade failed and mucked up 10.04.
I don't have any sound after installing Linuxant ALSA driver. I tried uninstalling it and the hsf driver, didn't help. Reinstalling ALSA didn't help either. Ubuntu doesn't detect my sound card, and aplay doesn't detect my sound card. lspci -v output for sound card:
Code:
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0126 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
I've done a clean install of Slackware 13.37 64-bit and am having trouble with building the Perl modules for Bugzilla 4.x.x (downloaded yesterday with bzr). This same problem exists with both Bugzilla stable and 4.1.2+.Executing checksetup.pl results in
Code: checksetup.pl * This is Bugzilla 4.1.2+ on perl 5.12.3
I am using 10.04 but i need alsa to be upgraded to 1.0.23 in order for the sound to work. every once in a while when there is a system update alsa gets overwritten and goes back to 1.0.22 which makes the computer unusable. i already locked the alsa packages and it worked now for some time. but today i got another update that did the same thing. the only solution is to do full alsa upragade again. is there really no other way? which packages do i need to lock to keep alsa at 1.0.23? i don't want to move to 10.10 as i planned to stay with LTS. but if there is no other way... funny how debian chose to use 1.0.23 for their next stable edition, while ubuntu LTS stays with 1.0.22 despite it not working on many newer cards. especiall intel ones it seems.
I have also posted this as a question in ubuntu launchpad but I figure I have more of a chance coming across a solution this way- as I had been struggling with no sound issue (and other issues for so long now!) I first had alsa driver version that came with this 2.6.32-25 preempt kernel: ALSA driver 1.0.22, I believe. My maudio soundcard was detected but I couldn't get sound so I found a suggestion in ubuntu forum to install lucid backports. This created 2.6.32-25 generic kernel which I didn't want since I need low latency (and still had no sound). I tried at first to compile and install Alsa driver 1.0.23 (following Ubuntu Sound Troubleshooting Guide), having booted into the preempt kernel- but ALSA driver 1.0.23 only installed into the generic backport kernel. So I proceeded to remove the 2.6.32-25 backport generic kernel via synaptic.
I once again only have my original preempt kernel 2.6.32.25 and 2.6.32.21 in my grub list. I discovered that I had no soundcard detected and no more ALSA installed, according to 'aplay -l' & 'cat /proc/asound/version' 'cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory' so I proceeded to try to install Alsa driver 1.0.23 twice more but each time I get:
'bash alsa-info.sh --stdout cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory cat: /proc/asound/modules: No such file or directory
I had normal sound... i did try to install alsa-driver-linxant which didnt succeed, and now i dont have any sound... i can see a red cross near my volume icon.
here's some output:
upload=true&script=true&cardinfo= !!################################ !!ALSA Information Script v 0.4.59 !!################################
I have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.
..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.
Having had many problems with pulseaudio on a fresh karmic install, I followed some recommended instructions for removing pulse and using alsa (URL...). unfortunately, both pulse and alsa have gone and i'm left with oss which seems to work fine. I'd like to have alsa back though.When I open amarok, it plays the frst song on the playlist then pops up a series of 'could not initialise sound engine' messages, and crashes.

I have failed to install the Ubuntu recommended driver many times. It's been pointed out that i have a build error in my make.log, (See att) but i don't know what the implications are?
in order to using the SR-IOV, according the guide HOW_SRIOV [Moderator edit: fixed link.]but i can't got the VFs.so i try to compile the driver :igb-2.4.13 and igbvf1.0.7.but i failed to install them.when i make install the igb-2.4.13 i got the errormsg:root@localhost src]# make installakefile:106: *** Linux kernel source not configured - missing version header file‚[root@localhost src]# i alreadly installed the kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.x86_64.rpm .some system info maybe needed:Information for general problems.

where can i find the qt libraries..?? building an rpm failed.
Code: checking for Qt libraries... no :-( configure: error:
I can't find the Qt libraries. It is recommended to set the QTDIR environment variable. Install the Qt libraries, or if you have them installed, override this check with the --with-qt-libraries argument, and I'll take your word for it. i got qt and qt-devel
i downloaded madwifi0.9.4 because my laptop has an atheros wifi card sadly i am new to linux so do not understand how to build a driver and just downloaded the software add-on windows wireless drivers but could not find an inf file then i see i have to build the thing myself from the kernel. well i am a win7 user wanting desperately to only have to use windows for playing games and do all my work on something more secure and would like to be able to use my laptop in a coffee shop etc.
when i ran jhbuild build as a normal user, i found below messages before it failed
Code: Please add the files codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4 from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory or directly to your aclocal.m4 file. You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
There appears to be lots of advice some of it is working and some of it is not. I purged and reinstalled wine but still am getting the following error.
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
Audio in general on my machine is not working.I have an ASUS a7n8v deluxe motherboard.have some directed advice of how to get audio working properly on this machine?
