ALC260 > No Sound ?!

[danielwinter]

I tried to install with that guide....
But I got many errors, here is my log:

Edit:
Sorry I saw that I have no C compiler... I installed gcc from the cds now....
but I'll get the next errors:

it seems to be complaing that the kernel source is not installed.... I assume you can do it with yast (?) (I have not used suse in like 5 years so I don't know for sure)

[danielwinter]

So, now I installed the kernel-source too (it worked fine with Yast thanks )
but I get the error message again:

you might have to use the --with-kernel=dir I would take a look in /lib/modules/ and see if you can find the real location

[danielwinter]

ok, i went to
/lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-default

there is a shortcut called "source",
it links to the following folder:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4/

BUT:
in /usr/src/
are only these folders:

file:///usr/src/alsa
file:///usr/src/linux
file:///usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4-obj
file:///usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.13
file:///usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.13-obj
file:///usr/src/linux-obj
file:///usr/src/packages

so do I have to take /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4-obj ?
What would be this command?

--with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4-obj this?

The folders and files in usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4-obj are:

file:///usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4-obj/i386
.................................................. ..........................|-default
.................................................. ................................file: /default/Module.symvers
file:///usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4-obj/i586
.................................................. ..........................|-default
.................................................. ................................file: /default/Module.symvers

I am a very new kid around the block in Linux. However, I had the same problem with SUSE 10.2, where it identified the sound card as Intel, and the PC (HP DC7600 minitower) didn't emit any sound. I switched to FC 6, and it recognized the card out of the box and working perfectly.

[danielwinter]

well....
i'm using windows vista right now....
faster...beautiful...(yeeeaaaah i know thats in the wrong forum, you'll kill me )..
and no difficult codes... sorry...
