    installing driver gcc version syntax error

    I am new to Linux, but I can't produce any sound out of my speakers. So I downloaded the driver for my sound card from my motherboard manufacturer (it is an on board sound card). Now, if I am right I need to run ./configure . I did this and the following thing happend:
    Code:
    checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix... 
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes
checking for inline... inline
checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes
checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no
checking for current directory... /home/psybill/Downloads/Linux/alsa-driver-0.9.6
checking cross compile... 
checking for directory with kernel source... /lib/modules/2.6.31-18-generic-pae/build
checking for kernel version... 0.0.0
checking for GCC version... eval: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
    Need some help here!

    Hi and Welcome !

    Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Post the output of this
    Code:
    sudo lspci
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    What motherboard are you using? Also, do you know what the audio chip set happens to be? FWIW, the most common problem with getting audio to work are the mixer settings for your system. Often the PCM channel is off by default, and it is needed to enable sound.

    The motherboard I am using is a Asus P4P800 deluxe. And I think that the audiochip is an Intel8x0 chip, but I am not sure.

    I would think that the Intel audio is supported since their audio chip sets are pretty ubiquitous for motherboard audio support. I have intel chip sets on a number of my systems and have had no problems, other than the issue with the ALSA audio mixer being set incorrectly on installation.

    It is nice to know that a lot of Intel sound chips are supported, but that does not change the fact that I still can't hear a thing with it. So what do you suggest I should do?

    Right click the speaker icon on the panel. Make sure it isn't muted.
    Open the volume control from there. Make sure PCM is not
    bottomed out.

    Also, what audio driver are you using? ALSA is generally the most reliable and supports the widest spectrum of chip sets, I think.
