Hey, I haven't had any issues building just the driver package (provided your distro already installs the normal ALSA packages.) It can't hurt to try though, if you think it may help. Perhaps some configuration is needed- try 'sudo alsaconf' and use it to configure your card. What is the output of 'lsmod | grep snd'? Thanks, Bjorn.
