Sound card wont install

[Megalomaniac]

I'm trying to install a sound card but when i do the command ''make isntall'' I get this

tyler@tyler-net:~/XFiDrv$ make install
Copy module files...
mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/modules/2.6.24-23-generic/kernel/drivers/ssound': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1
tyler@tyler-net:~/XFiDrv$

I dont know how to give myself permission to install into the kernel folder.


I've only had linux for 2 days so I'm very new to this

try putting sudo in front of your command so "sudo make install"

try putting sudo in front of your command so "sudo make install"

Now that I've done that I get this:

tyler@tyler-net:~/XFiDrv$ sudo make install
Copy module files...
Update module dependency relationships...

Does this mean the driver has been installed? Cause I still have no sound

[Megalomaniac]

This is an XFi driver for Ubuntu 8.04 if it helps

did you reboot after running make install?

did you reboot after running make install?

yea, it took ages for Ubuntu to load up after the "install" yet i have no sound.

[coopstah13]

when you go to system->preferences->sound does nothing show up under the device section?

[Megalomaniac]

Just "Autodetect"

[coopstah13]

ok it definitely isn't being detected still, can you post me the output of

lspci | grep -i audio

so i can google some stuff

[Megalomaniac]

tyler@tyler-net:~$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
