Ste, A set of several drivers which snd-hda-intel depends on also has to be replaced Here is the procedure for ALSA release 1.0.2, and could be similarly followed for say 1.0.14rc3
From http://www.alsa-project.org/ get the version 1.0.2 driver
and lib packages. Make a folder, say alsa/. $ mkdir alsa Unpack both packages in the alsa/ folder $ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2 will unpack both. To compile the driver set, move into the driver folder: $ cd alsa-driver-1.0.12 Look around: $ ls $ make clean Make a transient (must be redone after a reboot) definition HEADERS=/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build Check with $ ls $HEADERS the base of the linux-headers folder should be displayed Do the configuration with with the following command on ONE LINE: $ ./configure --with-kernel=$HEADERS --with-build=$HEADERS --with-cards=hda-intel If the configuration is successful, the driver set will be compiled with: $ make Do nothing in the alsa-lib-1.0.12/ folder. But it is used during the compile. The new driver set is displayed by: $ ls modules and installed by $ sudo make install THen reboot to have the new drivers used. as the existing set usually cannot be unloaded.
