Realtek High Definition Audio compatibility (please help!)

[Koba 0]

Hi,

 

Could someone please please help me try and get audio working on Ubuntu (or any linux distro for that matter)? I have tried and tried to no avail and I would be really grateful if someone could help me out.

 

I have an onboard soundcard - a Realtek ALC 880 and I have found some drivers for it here:

 

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlhd...0Audio%20CODECs

 

I have followed the instructions as best I could. First I installed the kernel sources for my system and then followed the instructions to the letter:

 

***

 

The source code copy from www.alsa-project.org. ver:R3.1

 

Linux Source Code for ALC audio codec

 

 

 

Installation:

 

This Source Code is from www.alsa-project.org.

 

For driver installation, please follow below steps.

 

 

 

Step 1. unzip source code

 

tar xfvj azx-021705.tar.bz2

 

 

 

Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)

 

 

 

Step 3. Complied source code

 

a. ./configure

 

b. make

 

c. make install

 

d. ./snddevices

 

 

 

Step 4. Edit your /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules depending on the distribution

 

(Please refer to the attached modules.conf)

 

 

 

Step 5. reboot your machine

 

 

 

Note: 1. The most detail information, can refer the alsa-kernel/Documenttation/ALSA-Configuration.txt in the azx-021705.tar.bz2.

 

2. Kernel Version must be 2.2.14 or later.

 

3. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native

 

or OSS mixer program to unmute appropriate channels.

 

4. If can not compile the source code, try to rename the /usr/src/linux-2.x -> /usr/src/linux.

 

5. The driver added to support the SPDIF functoin.

 

6. Suggest use alsamixer to control mixer function. you can find it in the alsa-utils-0.9.4 (www.alsa-project.org).

7. a. You can download the alsa-lib-1.0.8 and alsa-utils-1.0.8 form the www.alsa-project.org, then unzip and install them.

 

b. Used "alsaconf" can autodetect which drive you need to install (step 4).

 

***

 

When I do ./configure I get this:

 

checking for directory with kernel source... /usr/src/linux

checking for kernel version... The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist.

Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution

or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel

sources (default is /usr/src/linux).

 

There is no /include/linux/version.h! What should I do?

 

Thank you,

 

Koba

Have you installed the kernel headers andsource code ?

make sure they are present in usually /usr/src/.

 

i have problems with this card too tho, even i can compile everything fine. i now use Simply Mepis 3.3

i had it working with Fedora core 4 FYI.
