Thank you all for the replies! Very appreciated! :) > $ sudo modprobe [module] FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error running install command for snd WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_hwdep (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_hda_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) This doesn't look good. What do you think is wrong?? > Note that * is a wildcard. So /dev/dsp* is any devices that start > with /dev/dsp. Yes, of course. I did "ll" in this folder and went through the whole list. Nothing's there. # modprobe snd-hda-intel Gives me permission errors. $ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel Gives the result above. $ sudo pavucontrol sudo: pavucontrol: command not found $ lsmod | grep -i "snd" snd_page_alloc 7120 0 $ cat /proc/asound/cards cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory > /dev/dsp and /dev/audio are the oss sound drivers, not alsa. alsa has an oss > emulation module, which will create those but they are NOT needed for using > alsa.

And how to load these emulators?? There is a folder /dev/snd. No other folders that begin with snd*. /dev/snd$ ll total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 2011-02-12 12:11 ./ drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 3900 2011-02-12 12:11 ../ crw------- 1 root root 116, 1 2011-02-12 12:11 seq crw------- 1 root root 116, 33 2011-02-12 12:11 timer $ ls -l /dev/* /dev/*/* | grep -i "audio" ls: cannot access /dev/fd/255: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /dev/fd/3: No such file or directory lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-02-12 12:11 usb-USB_Audio_Device_Acer_Crystal_Eye_webcam-event-if00 -> ../event6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2011-02-12 12:11 usb-USB_Audio_Device_Acer_Crystal_Eye_webcam-video-index0 -> ../../video0 I also tried to run dmesg, but I won't post output here, as it's too long. In short, I could see there many many many entries like that: [ 1191.589110] snd: Unknown symbol unregister_sound_special (err 0) [ 1191.589703] snd: Unknown symbol register_sound_special_device (err 0) [ 1191.592939] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol snd_info_register (err 0) [ 1191.593097] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol snd_info_create_module_entry (err 0) [ 1191.593254] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol snd_info_free_entry (err 0) [ 1191.593410] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol snd_seq_root (err 0) [ 1191.593584] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol __snd_printk (err 0) [ 1191.593741] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol snd_iprintf (err 0) [ 1191.593981] snd_seq_device: Unknown symbol snd_device_new (err 0) Do you see any solution to this problem?
