I couldn't find the links or Did you erase the tar files or the untarred packages? You made a directory form the in /usr/local/src, but your list of commands never had a "cd" to that directory, so also look in your home directory, or root's home directory.

I believe the latest stable is 1.0.15 and go throught the procedures you described again. Do modprobe -r snd-hda-intel Make sure that you have the source, or stripped source for the kernel that you are running installed. uname -a will tell you which kernel you are running. When you run the make install, make sure that no errors are reported. run depmod -a and then modprobe snd-hda-intel Immediately do dmesg| tail -20 and look for errors. > > thx, > > r.e. > > All about sanctifusion! > http://sanctifusion.blogspot.com > -- William G.
